My Faith: Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), from Catholic to Muslim

Just as brilliant people who try to out-do God’s word often end up in puddles in a corner.

Unlike the children of the Reformation, I accept God at His Word. I don't try to remake it every time I pass in front of the mirror.

[Natural Law]

"Isn’t that against the RF rules?"

I posted a prayer for you, not an exorcism. Learn the subject matter before you accuse.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Paul didn’t email his epistles? Who knew?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Are you saying that Catholics don't believe that God created the universe or that we don't all share your time line. Because if it is the later there are some other non-Catholic buffoons on this thread that insist that you are off by at least 1200 years. LOL

I am saying that people who insist the world could not have been created in six days 5771 years ago because "that's now how the world works" but who simultaneously believe in magic babies being born without a human father are obviously hypocrites whose choice of "miracles" they believe in is based on whom they identify with sociologically rather than any rationality or reasoning . . . otherwise they would have to admit that both are equally possible or equally impossible.

But I think you knew that.

Paul didn’t email his epistles? Who knew?

Not only that, but his website was by subscription only and only the Reformed and the OSAS crowd who emailed were given a password. It was kind of a Mormon / Masonic thing.

The whole 'cookies' deal is their overwhelming objection to the Eucharist, since Paul's website planted some spyware and also datalogged their computers for credit card numbers and other personal information. A real drag, but since the Trojans in their computers blamed Catholics, well, then, here we are with the antiCatholic bias.

That is what we're up against.

“Lovie come quickly. The riff-raff are gathering again. How dare they stand before our home, holding signs and carrying those unfortunate black books. Don’t they know darling, that everything they need to know is given to us by our dear magisterium. The nerve! Talking about Paul...’Hey, riff-raff, don’t you know that Paul knew that our beloved Peter was in charge? Simpleton fools. They have no idea that Peter was in Rome. And that Emperor Constantine in Rome. Muwhahaha...Everyone knows it was Vatican City. Ask your officials to read your bibles, fools! It’s in there. It’s all in there.’ I’m exhausted. It isn’t easy trying to teach simpletons. Ring Cadburry and have him bring candles. We shall light a candle and pray they understand someday. We are so blessed to have the best teachers the Church can infallibly declare infallible. Wretched souls who read the Bible for themselves..I’ll never understand it, dear..”

Protestants consider Christians those who follow Christ. If someone does not follow Christ, they are not a Christian.
Catholics consider Christians those who follow the Roman Catholic church. If you don't follow a certain church, you're not a Christian.

Needs to be repeated

Alex, what is your method for finding old Free Republic posts? It seems almost as if you can find any specific post that you want, no matter how obscure and no matter how long ago it was posted.

[smvoice]

You said this is a prayer that accomplishes the same thing. As an exorcism. That was the subject matter. Exorcism. Don’t try to claim ignorance of what you wrote.

[Natural Law]

"You said this is a prayer that accomplishes the same thing."

Just read the prayer (if you can) and then comment. Your petulant displays of ignorance are getting annoying.

[Natural Law]

"It seems almost as if you can find any specific post that you want, no matter how obscure and no matter how long ago it was posted."

And what he can't find he makes up.

Rather, if one wants to see “sad”, they only need to read the posts done on the Religion Forum in the wee hours of the morning when hardly anyone else is online. I see these as sad cries for attention and affirmation of their own hollowness found in a religion far from the true source of all truth. It's mournful bleats are never Christ-focused, yet insisting all others must stoop to the same fearful, barren and lonely outpost.

To God be the glory for any good

[boatbums]

As you so gently remind us at every opportunity, one should not be making the thread “about” another person. It is called making it personal, do try to remember.

[smvoice]

"It (this short sweet prayer) accomplishes the same thing." The same thing as what? The exorcism you may or may not have claimed ("If I had done it"). Your denial of what you actually said is getting annoying.

"It's maaaagic...."

[smvoice]

If only God would grant Paul one night on this forum. Just one. There would be people sauntering in, peacock feathers in full array, awaiting the big moment when Paul is impressed. Those would be the same people who would be limping out of here, feathers between their legs, pretending to be cool, calm and collected even as their knees buckled under the nervous ticks.

[metmom]

An exorcism prayer that accomplishes the same thing as a post he claims he can find no evidence of but he appears to know the content of.

Ooops......

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I love how they have to invent what Catholics “believe,” or else they’d have nothing to rally against - shows how scummy some pretend-Christians can be
