“You would be hardpressed to find wher I CLAIMED there was only one.”

No, I wouldn’t be hard pressed at all. You wrote:

“The comment was:

“According to Francis, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.”

You posted ONE out of THREE sentences and called it THE comment.

“The other two statements were metaphorical taken from the sentence quoted.”

Metaphorical: Definition of metaphor. 1 : a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly : figurative language — compare simile.

The following is NOT therefore a metaphor:

“So next time just walk into a mosque instead of a church. Francis says it’s all the same, so Catholics should obey their pope.”

Time is money. - that’s a metaphor. See the difference?

Well bless your heart vladimir998!

Metaphor fits just fine, glad you see what I was getting at.

LOL at you still going with your falsely accusing me of stating that there was just one comment.

Even with the proof I c/p'ed for you you still just HAVE to be right. But, alas I did not state that there was just one comment. Quite the contrary.

Using poetic, or should I say artistic license, I used one comment to set up the metaphor and the other two were givens which were easy to see in the post they were originally posted in.

Sometimes it's best to let your fans use their own minds to put things together.

The semantical gymnastics you had to go through to expose how wrong you are is dazzling to see.

At least we have firmly established that Catholics worship the same "God" as Islam. Need the proof again? Just scroll up.
