Which would ordinarily be considered the most hateful?:

A. A Protestant attacking Catholicism and suggesting that Catholics will probably go to hell if they don't leave the Church. or

B. The Catholic who responds to these attacks by showing from both Scripture and Church teachings that what the Protestant is saying is erroneous.

**********************

By whom? Protestants? Catholics? The RM?

Unfortunately, although I believe the answer is "A", my experience here leads me to believe that not all Protestants would agree.

No one can read another person's mind. And "reading minds" is a form of "making it personal" and therefore not tolerable on the Religion Forum.

More to the point, there is nothing wrong with saying the Freeper's statement is hateful. But it is out of line (and incites flame wars) to say the Freeper who made the statement is hateful.

Some of those who toss around hateful statements like grass seed also say that they are doing it out of love. And we do not know their hearts.

We can and do however determine that certain sources exist for the purpose of inciting hatred. And those sources - or sources that link to the sources - are forbidden. These include Jack Chick, Jesus-is-Lord.com, Vdare, KKK, Aryan Nations, Christian Identity, the false Jesuit Oath, the false Oath of the Knights Columbus, etc.
