Catholics think they save themselves, hence, no salvation outside the Roman Catholic church, which is not Christ, but each other. And after all, they pray to each other, and anyone and everyone but Christ, contending that the deceased are “in heaven”, when maybe they are and maybe they aren’t, no one knows. Then there’s that pesky purgatory where their deceased may or may not be and can’t help themselves out of, let alone anyone else. Theologica Absurdica

HAHAHAHA!!!! Wow, talk about a STRAW MAN!!!





The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern:

Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because attacking a distorted version of a position simply does not constitute an attack on the position itself. One might as well expect an attack on a poor drawing of a person to hurt the person.


To avoid embarrassing yourself with straw man arguments in the future, I recommend you read THIS.

God bless.

False.

And after all, they pray to each other, and anyone and everyone but Christ...

Catholics pray to everyone BUT Christ?

Two filthy lies in one post. Amazing.
