Why this sudden attack on Catholics reading the Bible?

Maybe some people get tired of seeing thread after thread after thread attacking non-Catholic Christians?

Your non-snarky response up thread struck a chord with me. I didn’t know that was happening. Probably I didn’t notice thread titles attacking protestants.

I try never to do that, unless it’s a blatant anti-Catholic thread, and even then I most always scroll right on by, because I’ve heard it all forever as a Catholic. Boring for me.

I think you have a point though. I wouldn’t like it either if there are really that many thread titles bashing protestants.

We are not suppose to use the scriptures to inflame others, any more than we are suppose to cast our pearls before swine. That goes for all us believers together.

I think these religion threads should all be caucus only. Without caucus, these threads are an open invitation for incitement, for starting a food fight, in which I am not participating.

I use FR for politics, where we are mostly in lock step. Some of these folks you never see anywhere else on the forum, but live for smack down and smack back over something on which they are clueless anyway. Some on both sides do this.

Anyway it’s disgusting for civilized adults to entertain this stuff at all, on God and faith of all things, and give dissension a platform. Not a class act to even participate.

Thx for bringing this to my attention. I think to caucus is the answer. We have to be gracious and inquiring there, and people appreciate that.

Outta here. Back to politics. :)

Are you going back to the Old Testament and “an eye for an eye” mentality?

I certainly hope not.
