Well if that is the purpose iof the religion forum her JR should close it down.There are a million RC forums out there..almost as many Mormon ones and alot of Protestand ones.. That way every group can find their own kind and all agree together that they are right and the rest are wrong and pat themselves on the back while they do it.

On the Neverending thread there are Catholics and Baptists and a Jew and many other different types of Christians.

We are not segregated. If I only went to a Cahtolic forum, to pat myself on the back, I would not have learned the things I did from the Baptists and others.

The Thread is exactly the point of a civil discussion. We don't need to be constantly at each others' throats. We got our mutual anathemas out of the way. Maybe you think that one should only associate with those one agrees with, but I do not.

But taking each day to remind (for example) my Baptist friends that they are going to hell if they don't go to Mass is not constructive.

Still, still, still you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

I believe that part of living a Christ-like life is finding the Christ inside of everyone you meet.

Well said.

We all love Jesus Christ, and we all need to strive to love each other, through charity and good-will. There is no need to personally attack Protestants OR Catholics. When we want to challenge a difference, we should -- with love and charity. It is also our obligation to nurture the Truths in each religion and pray to the Holy Spirit that He will guide believers into the fullness of Truth.
