Why does anyone care about how someone else worships? Who cares what the Mormons do or the Catholics or Protestants or Episcapalans or Luthrans etc... Everyone should worship as they see fit and the rest of us should mind our own business.

Religion is a very private and personal matter. It matters not to me how anyone worships. If that is their belief then so be it. Everyone to their own comfort zones.

I am Catholic and believe in God. I always have been and always will be. It is MY business. If someone doesn’t like that fact...then they should just butt out. Plain and Simple.

Sorry for the rant but I’m so sick of everyone butting into other people’s lives...we have enough of that with the government who also need to butt out.

Because I'm right and everyone else is wrong, don'tcha know? Hahaha I can sit an a pew (any pew) and be pretty sure there are people all around me who don't worship the "same" as me... which is why I don't much bother with pews any more. But when I see divisive nonsense statements like these, I just say, "Peeeeee - you". ;-)

If it were just a matter of different beliefs about the recipe for a cake I'd agree with you. However Catholics and Other Christians think it is a matter of life and death and the Jesus told us it is our business to let someone on the wrong path know they are heading for the cliff of destruction. If we fail to tell them, their loss is on our head. If we tell them and they continue down the path they are lost, but we are held blameless. The Christian belief is that Jesus, God the Son, is the only way to Heaven. We want others to be in Heaven and thus we are commanded to point the correct way. Christians also believe that all we can do is the pointing but God the Holy Spirit alone opens the hearts and minds That is why we care not about how someone else worships but about just Who they worship. From Mormon doctrine we see that the one they worship is not the same God that promises salvation, but another entity they choose to call by the same name.

I am Catholic and believe in God.

I guess Obama's ties to Rev. Write didn't bother you?

You stated you believe in God but do you believe in his son, Jesus?

“Why does anyone care about how someone else worships? Who cares what the Mormons do or the Catholics or Protestants or Episcapalans or Luthrans etc... Everyone should worship as they see fit and the rest of us should mind our own business.”

I’ll tell you why! ‘Cause some think it is their business to! (I agree with you btw)

“Religion is a very private and personal matter. It matters not to me how anyone worships. If that is their belief then so be it. Everyone to their own comfort zones.”

Nor to me, but yet some feel compelled to put others down to make themselves feel good! Oh gee I wonder why? Maybe because they are not secure in their own religion?

“I am Catholic and believe in God. I always have been and always will be. It is MY business. If someone doesn’t like that fact...then they should just butt out. Plain and Simple.”

I am too! I agree with you! However some feel it necessary to tell me how I am “wrong” as a Catholic and even worse like to tell me how I practice my religion when they don’t know jack.

“Sorry for the rant but I’m so sick of everyone butting into other people’s lives...we have enough of that with the government who also need to butt out.”

Don’t be sorry!!! Remember Gibbs from NCIS...Gibbs Rule #6: Never apologize — Its a sign of weakness.

I just added this song cause I am listening to it as typing all this and have an attitude right now...
