OK I’ll compromise I won’t call you a heretic. But I’ll call what you believe heresy. Fair?
Well, if you want to call the Bible heresy, I suppose there's no stopping you. It's your choice.
FWIW, all the attempts at insults are not worth the bandwidth. The behavior exhibited by most of the Catholics on this board is not unexpected. It fits in perfectly with what I've come to expect out of Catholics in general, completely consistent with the behavior of the real life Catholics I lived and worked with. It doesn't bother me in the least as it is NOT unexpected. Matter of fact, I pretty much count on it and have rarely been disappointed.
If that kind of behavior shows the fruit of Catholicism, then it's no wonder the RCC is losing members. Aside from the disagreement with the Catholic theology which is why I made my final break with the church, this kind of behavior, reinforced on this thread alone, would keep me away for good.
Any *religion* which cannot effect a change in the hearts and lives of its adherents shows that it has no redeeming power.
