Don't you realize these shabby assaults on Catholicism are deeply offensive?
I just begged off on a couple of threads after actually spending the time to compose a reply. I compared my interactions with many non-Catholics as trying to argue with an alcoholic. You can never win an argument with an alcoholic because they are patronizing, condesending, their conscience is numb and they are always right. They know just how to needle you and push your buttons and if you ever get upset, they didn’t do a thing and are as innocent as the driven snow.
(Disclaimer) I’m not saying anyone is an alcoholic, I’m saying their behavior often resembles that of alcoholics.
Really? We are trying to get at truth not appeasing people's sensitivity in regards to a belief system.
Heck at least a good friend and a nun plus my mom I always debate do not play the offensive card. Of course this is usually over some adult beverages. Have a beer or something and relax. I don't get offended if my beliefs are challenged, (God, politics etc...) I am too confident in them.
Know why, because they were actual people who witnessed and wrote down the plan for salvation. Not a feel good story based on gnostic writings that finally caught on only to made dogma 1500 years later. And if you don't buy what Pius XII sells then bye, bye divine Catholic faith.
Let me end by saying: Hey cheerio old chap talk to you in the morning or whenever I log back on.
