Maybe you should stop posting threads about "good ni**ers". I did no such thing.

Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.

I presume that the appropriate response to this type of argument is "No, I didn't."

[Petronski]

You play The Game very well.

[DouglasKC]

I'll be crystal clear.
I believe you have done so.

Thank you.

So you if you think bias against inborn traits is the same thing as bias against things people choose to do, guess that means you’re all for stopping bias against gays since it’s just another choice like religion.

I happen to disagree. When someone makes a choice to adhere to a particular religion or makes a choice to act sexually in a certain way, criticism of that choice is acceptable.

[Petronski]

Your words are harsher than any I've used.

Yet accurate nonetheless.

Sitting here laughing!

...the greek word translated "vision" it always refers to a supernatural vision, either a waking vision or a dream vision. It didn't happen in our reality, but it can be a prophetic vision.

So what's the greek word for a vision of something real, yet of supernatural origin?

[Petronski]

Rejection of the Trinity is a fundamental heresy.

[Petronski]

First of all it's not divisive and it's not anti-catholic.

It's an article questioning whether Mary should be worshipped or not.

Thus making a crass and coy insinuation--with the subtlety of a train wreck--that Catholicism teaches the worship of Mary. It does not.

You obviously missed what Twain wrote:

I may be wrong in this—my judgment errs often,

He was and you are as well.

STRAWMAN ALERT

If you believe the bible is heretical than so be it.

END STRAWMAN ALERT

I think you know what you are dealing with here. Your post #18 nails it. Laughter pointing in his direction is the best medicine

[Petronski]

Quite.

Martin, thanks for nailing posting this on the door of FR.

[Petronski]

I think comparing the other poster to an anti-Semite is personal abuse.

When someone makes a choice to adhere to a particular religion or makes a choice to act sexually in a certain way, criticism of that choice is acceptable.

And when someone makes a choice to attribute evils to another based on false assumptions and untruths, that someone is a bigot.

[NonValueAdded]

Personal abuse is a sin.

[big'ol_freeper]

It is kind of ironic that folks (the author and those who accept his false premise) who actively engage in the idolatry of BIBLIOLATRY would then turn around and make false witness against members of the Church established and protected from error by Jesus Christ by accusing them of a form of idolatry.

[Petronski]

Well, if that’s where your mind is, fine.

I think comparing the other poster to an anti-Semite is a personal attack.
