Apparently you see through different colored glasses----if you didn't find "Dave's" spamming with his posts like 30932 as acting like a spoiled child having a temper tantrum, then either you have not had much contact with spoiled children throwing temper tantrums or you wear rose colored glasses.
BTW, my response concerning warts and all was to RobbyS who said, We love the church, warts and all. You hate her and see only the warts.
I would say that you do some selective reading as well. Exposing the evils within any church is not hate, as RobbyS so emotionally charged, falsely accused me of, unless you want to neglect a whole lot of Scripture that commands those evils be exposed.
and the stupid comparison to a horribly sinful pope.
That was not a "snide sexual" comment comparing "dave" to that "horribly sinful pope", it was a play on words, saying that "soothingdave" is about as "soothing", as that "horribly sinful" pope was "innocent".
As far as the "love the evil warts" goes---there will not be any retraction nor apology---the false gospel of the papist church is evil(I know that word, "evil", hurts many liberals ears to hear, but it's the truth) and the papists love the false gospel of the papist church, among other evils.
It is interesting that "save" and the other RCs, except for B_Chan, who was honest, can't call the actions of the papists church in harboring pedophiles, and moving them to new areas for new victims, exactly what it is---intrinsically evil!
A few days ago, you asked me if Christ would want me talking like that----the answer is---YES!
I hope you understand that God hates evil, right?
Gotta go---more tomorrow,
I66 - Yes, I do. Let me assure that while I have not yet felt led to post on the subject of the abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests, I am horrified and disgusted by this blatant evil and all that was done by its enablers.
Since I'm not RC, and not very familiar with how the RC leadership functions, I try to avoid tarring the whole RC hierarchy with the brush of this series of evil acts. I've read through all the evidence of systemic RC evil that's been posted on this board over the last couple of months, and still don't agree with the conclusion that you and others have reached. Namely, that the RC institution is irredeemably evil. I think they are heretical, and thus wrong about many crucial truths, but that's different from being evil. Besides, I think just about everyone here is a heretic! ;)
Feel free to accuse me of wearing rose-colored glasses. I call 'em like I see 'em, but am open to the possibility that I'm wrong. If you think Dave provoked you first, then I tell you what I told him - try not to respond to provocation in kind.
God Bless.
