Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
As I have said numerous times, the issue is not so much doing apologetics, the issue basically comes down to having an endless bickering contest with people who just aren’t interested in the truth. You are not convincing them. They are not convincing you. You are not converting them. They are not converting you. You think you are defending Holy Mother Church. They think they are knocking irrefutable holes in the whore of Babylon.
There is no reason for these 3, 4, or 10,000 post long threads other than to provide an opportunity to drag us into sin.
To repeat once again:
Sirach 8:4 (DRB) Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
Sirach 8:3 (RSV-CE) Do not argue with a chatterer, nor heap wood on his fire.
Sirach 8:3 (NAB) Dispute not with a man of railing speech, heap no wood upon his fire.
Genuine apologetics, fine. Absolutely. No problem. But getting in an argument for arguments sake, no thanks.
