I never saw you get offended when some of your coreligionsists used inflammatory language because I or soemoen else disagreed with them, and that seems very common here among the Portestants. Even on this page, third from the top, I am being told to get lost for. Come on. Let’s not have selective vision, boatbums.

Inflammatory language? Really? What posts were "tending to excite anger, disorder, or tumult : seditious"? Wouldn't they have to be something along the lines of encouraging yours or someone else's destruction to be called that. Because someone does not like the way you post and feels it is blasphemous and hurtful and they would like you to stop posting in that way, you would deny them the right to say so?

I WAS offended by GOML's attack on Metmom calling her a liar and all "Protestants" liars as well and also comparing us to Islamists. I think that is way out of line and I haven't seen anything come close to it in vicious, but silly, rhetoric. How would you know what offends me, do you follow my posting history? Whenever I do speak out about an improper post, I get trashed for trying to act like a moderator.

Lastly, I have rarely seen a non-catholic talk about a respectful disagreement with another poster in inflammatory ways and it is usually the other side that starts up with the fiery darts so I don't know where this "very common" behavior you are talking about is happening. One post in a 3000+ thread is hardly very common. Disagreeing over theology is the point of these discussion threads, I am nobody's mama.

I stand by my description of Metmom's lack of honesty. She directly accused me of having two accounts when I didn't and never have had two accounts. Why would she make that up? This was in response to a post I guess she didn't agree with. Instead of arguing my post, she went and falsely accused me of breaking the rules. If that's not a liar, I don't know what is.

I asked if lying was a part of her religion. I think that's a fair question. I've seen her lie about things kosta has said many times, and I've read the lies here about Catholics worshiping Mary, statues and icons here way too many times for it not to raise the possibility the lying about other faiths may be at the core of Protestantism.

It's not just a few times either. The lies are relentless. They continue on long after very polite and thoughtful Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox folks here have explained the errors in the Protestants views of Catholics.

I do believe Protestants are much closer to Muslims than they are to being Christians. Both Muslims and Protestants believe in sola scriptura, and both reduce Christ to level of "prophet" and a few chapters in a magic book. The Muslims prefer Mohammed over Christ, and Protestants prefer Paul over Christ. That's where they differ. I don't know if that subject has been addressed in a book or not, but I think a full study of this subject would be a very interesting read.
