In fact the only thing more insulting is your attempt to defend your slander by implying I have a double-standard on these matters. Well just for the record, I unreservedly condemn anyone who accuses Catholics of paganism. And if you want some pings, see post 49 on this thread. and posts 17, 18 and 39 on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2433722/posts (the last one addressed to your good self, incidentally).
By the time I came to this thread the poster had already cancelled her account, so there seemed little point in posting to her, particularly as others seemed to be refuting her arguments so well. But you are right, I didn't directly challenge her statement, for which I apologise.
2) Do you really believe all protestants are pagans? No. Do the likes of the poster to whom I responded believe all Catholics are pagans? There's inarguably a strain of thought within "greater protestantism" which holds to that proposition in all seriousness. Were you aware of their existence? I see a great deal of their garbage on this forum, and it appears to be considered an acceptable opinion here. OTOH, I think it falls in the same category as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
3) There's a time and place for exaggeration, inflammatory rhetoric, and sarcasm. I believed (and continue to believe) I used such in an appropriate time and place. My use of such seems to have burned you severely. Perhaps it should give you (and any protestant lurkers reading this) pause to think about how intemperate rhetoric and ignorant comments from protestants are perceived by Catholics ... and what they lead Catholics to think of protestantism.
