More like your irrationality of using definitions unique to you to CORRECT me from using the commonly accepted definitions; then using the elaboration of your unique definition as an excuse to launch a barrage of hatred against a well respected faith shared by a billion of the inhabitants of this globe, Catholicism.

I like positivity and good spirited exchange of ideas and information. All I've heard from you is the chaos indicative of your name and wildly lashing out at any target, real or perceived.

Catholics are good people, leave them alone about their rites and practices and making unto graven images. It isn't anyone's business how they choose to do their "free exercise thereof".

Thought you were through.. lol.

More like your irrationality of using definitions unique to you to CORRECT me from using the commonly accepted definitions;

Accepted on what basis? And by whome? It isn't universally accepted as true. And if it were of what import is it? People can universally state that a Dodge Truck is a Volkswagon product. Don't let the fact that they'd be wrong bother you any. Afterall, it's belief that matters - right.. But don't let me rain on your parade. I mentioned a stark difference and you don't even bat an eye. You're an indoctrinate. You're stuck on your feelings. I'm stuck on practical facts. Until you get your head out of your feelings and start reviewing the facts, we've nothing to say to one another.

; then using the elaboration of your unique definition as an excuse to launch a barrage of hatred against a well respected faith shared by a billion of the inhabitants of this globe, Catholicism.

I don't care how well respected the group is. I really don't. God is no respector of persons, so why the heck should I be. Are Catholics nice people? Sure as heck are. My best friend growing up was one of them. Who cares. Isn't about them. It's about the religion - and more than that, it's about whether that religion is Christian. I could give a hang less that it even exists save that it pretends at something it isn't. If it didn't do that, I would not care a whit. I'd just evangelize heathens trapped in it like any other. Why, because heathen is a matter of belief - not a label on the person. God loves people, he just hates a lot of what they do - called sin.

I like positivity and good spirited exchange of ideas and information. All I've heard from you is the chaos indicative of your name and wildly lashing out at any target, real or perceived.

Oh bunk. You're all twisty and upset inside because someone challenged your worldview, you responded from your gut and now have to climb back up to some semblance of a high ground. I forgive the offense, that's a given, but I'm not stupid and neither is anyone else here.

Catholics are good people, leave them alone about their rites and practices and making unto graven images. It isn't anyone's business how they choose to do their "free exercise thereof".

I didn't bring Catholics into this. You did. I discussed the religion not the people. You're trying to confuse the two. And nobody is hampering their "free excercise" despite your dishonest attempt state otherwise. How they choose to worship is their prerogative and problem. That all has no bearing on whether they are Christian or not. That is another matter - one which you're doing your best to avoid in failing to address my prior points. If you're going to lay down a challenge as you did. It is proper to define terms. If you need to hide from that definition, you already understand you got problems. So, as I said, I thought you were through...
