"Catholics are the subjects of a cult and are kept in alignment with it's demonic teachings."

How, is this, as advised in earlier posts, not flame baiting and "making it personal" because it extends the claim to "the church" which entails all members individually - some of whom are Freepers?

Oh please...How many times have you called Protestants cult members, and members of sects???

I tell all catholics that - including my family - as I came from catholicsm - no one is offended as you. And not good to want someone to sin because they are offended by truth.

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Grow up and quit being so easily offended.

Well; it's along the guidelines set by the RM, so the question in my mind is, "Are YOU; personally; feeling the heat?"

The statement is not "making it personal" because it refers to a group of believers and not another Freeper, personally.

I have removed posts when the entire membership of a belief was accused of a criminal act because that was clearly flame-baiting. But merely calling a belief group a cult - or a belief, demonic - does not rise to the level of flame-baiting for an "open" Religion Forum thread.

In fact, it is not uncommon for belief groups spawned from prior belief groups, and the original group, to use condemning language about each other even in their holy writings, e.g. "cult" "heretic" "anathema" "apostacy" "Satanic."
