Allow me to apologize for my fellow Catholics for their vicious, below-the-belt posts to you. I am embarrassed by the level of hatred shown on this thread towards those of other faiths who are diligently and honestly expressing their own opinions. This is, after all, an opinion forum made up of a very religiosly diverse population. Why cannot the Catholics here express their views without referencing someone's weight ot employment status?
Race, I know you as a faithful political conservative, who has gone out on many occasions in all kinds of weather to fight the true enemy--the ever-corrupt liberal leftist element that ruled our country for 8 years under Clinton. I appreciate your steadfastness and commitment.
Please ignore those Catholics who are fueled by vitriolic hatred for those not "within the fold". I'm sure the Good Shepherd is not very proud of these sheep who behave more like wolves.
Good luck in your quest for decent employment! My prayers are with you.
I have yet to make a knowingly personal attack on anyone, it is like you say, I am just defending what I think, and often use scrupture to back up where I get that belief from. I am amazed at the hate speech coming from some people. They offer no knowlegable answer to statements made, they only name call; they fail to use scripture, or even the Catechism to defend their belief, they only attack me for having my belief. They never address the point, they only spew vulgar words and accusations.
Well, not everyone does this, but over 50% do, and just for saying I disagree with them, I am called a basher, a hatemonger, and other words best expressed with *****
You would think I was talking to a liberal sometimes, and I am not joking. The responses I get after posting an opinion are the same type of personal attack that the Clinton's gave their adversaries: Ignore the point made, slander/insult/belittle the person making the point instead.
That last comment about me being fat...well...can I sue for him being prejudiced against the gravitationally challenged??...Just a thought...(As long as the settlement includes payment for an industrial liposuction...sigh)
