Where is your quotation marks in that statement?
These two surveys came to similar conclusions where they overlapped on this figure:
That about 25% of the U.S population over 18 yrs. old identified themselves as Catholic and about 50%+ as Protestant of the 76% identified as Christian.
See:
religions.pewforum.org/
and
www.gc.cuny.edu/faculty/research_briefs/.../key_findings.htm
There is more of course for anyone interested.
Perhaps, but far too many took it off topic. I’m guilty myself by replying to them in their off topic post to me.
The second link was incorrect. It was supposed to be this:

I’ll post a corrected version of 1119.
I am sort of tired of this constant attacks by the left, by the homosexuals and others against the Catholic Church. Of course we had abusers of children, but over all the odds of your kid getting raped by a schoold teacher are way higher than getting raped by a priest. I love the Catholic Church and admire it greatly. It has had a long history from the past, a notable role in modern history, and will have a notable and ongoing role in the future to come. I predict that in the end, it will not be the homosexual lobby that will win over society, and I believe the Catholic Church will be around as a world power (and yes, I mean power, not just player) long after I am dead.
“The is your mistake - not metmom’s.”
No, it’s metmom’s.
“Being careless can’t be someone else’s fault.”
Metmom’s carelessness was her fault, if it actually was carelessness.
“Here’s how you posted it...
And that last one is the kicker — Mediatrix? Really? Where in scripture did God say this? So..... “
NO where is there any indication it was someone else’s words.”
You dishonestly quote me out of context and then claim that there was no indication that it was someone else’s words when I did use quotation marks to indicate they were someone else’s words. At any rate, if there was any confusion, metmom could have easily referred back to the previous post where she would again have seen that those were Hoss’s words. At any rate, I have asked metmom three times already to apologize for her mistake, and now it will be the fourth. Metmom, I will accept an apology if you admit your mistake, apologize, and ping all the others who you pinged to your false statement to your apology.
“You owe metmom an apology for taunting her for your own mistake or sloppiness in posting.”
You owe me an apology for saying this is my mistake, for saying that I was the one being careless, for dishonestly quoting me out of context, and for claiming that there was no indication that it was someone else’s words.
Here is the link to 944, where metmom made the false statement that she has not yet retracted, despite given multiple opportunities:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2695139/posts?page=944#944
And here is the post metmom falsely used as evidence:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2695139/posts?page=650#650
It’s extremely foolish to think you can get away with dishonestly quoting me out of context and lying about my post when I have the links right here and everyone can see them.
Once it reaches this point, I don’t think it’s salvageable.
Which was the sole point of my post upon returning... so now I’m leaving again.
May God bless us all.
You did it again - these are my words to you....
NO where is there any indication it was someone else’s words.”
and you posted it and there is no quote marks in the front of the statement - that’s the same thing you did with the other one you are complaining about. That’s carelessness.
lol. Exactly. You don’t find Protestants pleading for the threads to be pulled or sent to the gulag.
As the RM noted, that’s often a debate tactic, and a very poor one.
After all this time it’s clear that when posters stoop to calling people names and diverting the topic of the thread they are obviously hoping to create such a fuss that the thread disappears.
Truth is often inconvenient.
In 650, they were in a few places. You should have see them. If you were having trouble, you could have referred back to post 614. The relevant quotation marks are before the word "as" and after the periods after the word "so."
It may have been a little confusing, but if there was any confusion, post 614 could have easily been referred back to. In 1106, you said this, and it is blatantly false:
NO where is there any indication it was someone else's words.
If you admit to being wrong and apologize, not to mention possibly being dishonest, I'll accept your apology.
That is not true and has been disproved dozens of times on these threads.
37 priests in one city in one diocese.
That's the real problem in the RCC. And it has nothing to do with the homosexual lobby or Protestants or liberals or the MSM.
The problem of pederast priests rests solely on the RCC hierarchy which encourages, protects and promotes criminals to the ranks of "another Christ."
It doesn't take a PhD in theology to realize nothing good will come from a person who believes himself to be "another Christ."
Evil begets evil.
Thank you. And yet somehow we’ll still hear those numbers are wrong. The same numbers found in every survey of Christian denominations.
“NO where is there any indication it was someone else’s words.” is contained in the quotation marks before the word “Here’s” and after the word “words.”
If that was too hard for you to comprehend, you could have referred back to the previous post.
One has to go back and forth to see if you posted correctly? Trying being more careful in posting. If you don’t want to spend the time placing quotation marks in the FRONT and back but everyone else should spend time going back and forth.
I went to one of your post and I saw NO quotation mark in the front - why would anyone think you made a mistake and left it out or deliberately left it out. It totally looks like your words. We are not to mind read here.
This reminds me of the your photobucket incident.
“This reminds me of the your photobucket incident.”
Why, because both never happened?
My posting technique was perfectly normal and I’ll just let the lurkers see who is right.
Like I said, I never had a photobucket incident.
It was Quix and Titanites, not me.
Courtesy pings.
No, it doesn't take long at all.
