Stop your crap. I don’t appreciate being “talked down to,” about my religion or beliefs. I call myself a catholic and the only being that will ever have the power to judge my faith and intent is Jesus Christ. Your post reminds me of a Rick Santorum stump speech.
I am not talking down to you. I am reminding you of facts. For example, we don't get to pick which aspects of Catholicism we find convenient and throw away the rest. We either follow the rules as presented to us, or we can invent our own religion, which is similiar to Catholicism, but not the same thing. This may make you feel uncomfortable, but shooting the messanger won't change the facts.
