Blah blah blah. You and some others use the language of propagandists and astroturfers. It’s easy to spot the techniques used to shut down discussion. No one I know of here is against Catholic people. If we didn’t care for the souls of Catholics we wouldn’t bother telling them the truth. We are, however, strongly opposed to your system of religion because it doesn’t teach a saving gospel. Your church is an apostate body leading men into the pit.

“The language of astroturfers and propagandists includes trademark inflammatory terms such as: anti, nutty, quack, crank, pseudo-science, debunking, conspiracy theory, deniers and junk science. Sometimes astroturfers claim to “debunk myths” that aren’t myths at all. They declare debates over that aren’t over. They claim that “everybody agrees” when everyone doesn’t agree. They aim to make you think you’re an outlier when you’re not.”

Good thing “astroturfer” isn’t a “trademark inflammatory term.”
