“You do understand the difference between ignorant and stupid? I clearly used the word IGNORANT.”

I was referring to the condescending tone of many Catholic’s arguments, of which, sadly, you have provided a notable example.

++++++++++

“YOU realize that misquoting is also a tactic that leftists and liberals use. This is the second time in the same thread that YOU have done that to me.”

Please, get over yourself! Rephrasing your statement is not misquoting. You’re acting oddly self important, as if your posts are some sort of divine pronouncements to be weighed, studied and quoted with citation.

And additionally, you keep referring to having dicussed the issue at hand with me, “on at least 5 previous occasions”. Congratulations on being so orgazined in you posting as to keep up with every post you have ever made! Quite frankly, I can’t remember ever discussing the issue with you a single time. Not that I deny we have discussed this, but I have posted too many times to remember every individal thread.

I will tell you this however, If we did discuss it in the past, you did not provide me a satisfactory answer as to the basis of claimed Catholic authority. If you did, I would no longer be using the argument. As to where you have provided a satisfactory answer on this thread... I will take that up in another post.

It is exactly one of two things, either misquoting or lying. Words mean things and there is a huge difference between ignorant and stupid. Ignorant is saying that Catholics worship statues etc.., Stupid is repeating it after the Catholic belief/ position has been explained and clarified to you.

You’re acting oddly self important, as if your posts are some sort of divine pronouncements to be weighed, studied and quoted with citation.

No I am acting justifiably impatient with having to explain the same things over and over to people that will not even take the time to think about the Catholic position. My post are no where near divine pronouncements, but each and everyone of them is completely in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church which has divine origins.
