They do not ask questions, they frame an insult in the form of a question and demand responses in the perpetuation of their game of Catholic baiting with "predestined" shock and outrage regardless of the answer. The most vile and disgusting among them carry this game from thread to thread and abuse the Freepmail when anyone dare to either confront or ignore them.
They game the rules and mods continually relying on the ignorance, indifference or tacit agreement of the mods by using the knowledge that Catholics are more offended by insults and slander of their Church and the family we call the Communion of Saints than we are by anything said about us personally. The move through a listing of hot button insults trying to provoke, often posting the most obscene and reprehensible, yet acceptably "worded" accusations with their fingers on the abuse buttom if the response isn't to their liking.
They don't care what you or I really think or believe, the truth is irrelevant. They are simply trying to deceive God by appearing to be pious and rightous and masking their black hearts. Most are just too damned wrapped up in themselves and too twisted to recognize it. To hell with them. They have built a church upon a dungheap and we should not be surprised when flies and maggots emerge to offend the Christian world.
Wow. Really?
To hell with them.
" Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head." -- Romans 12:20
Since you seem to be having an attitude problem, this might help. It IS Jesus own words you know.
For as often as these passages are supposed to be read at mass, you ought to be familiar with them.
Matthew 5:1 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
(The Beatitudes)
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
You'd be surprised at the number of people who pray for you and your other likewise charitable Catholic cohorts.

BTW,
Would you happen to have a count of how many times you’ve been warned to grow a thick skin or leave the thread in various wordings?
I’ve lost track since I wasn’t consciously counting them anyway.
Some of us are pretty sure you’re due for an unprecedented award in that department.
