I have seen these debates here many times. I have no problem giving my testimony and admitting my love for Christ here on the forum. If I am ashamed of Christ on earth, He will be ashamed of me in the presence of His Father.
However, it is always the same. Evangelical Christians will point to scripture - which is black and white. The Catholics deny the scripture, say it doesn't mean what it says it does, look for ways to trap people, take 1/2 of argument "A" and merge it with new argument "B" and then blame the other poster for the leap, accuse others of lying and never really being Catholic, and my favorite - ridiculing their faith in Christ and telling them if come crawling back to the Catholic church they might (just might....mind you) have a shot at heaven.

Perhaps you need to give some examples here. In what I see on FR, I do not see the Catholics lying as you say they do.
Catholics do read the Bible every day. What is your problem with that? Don’t you see the Daily Readings posted?
We are in the presence of God all the time as long as we haven’t committed a mortal sin, but especially in the presence of God during the Mass. And especially when that REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST is received reverently in Holy Communion.
Do you remember?
