[Natural Law]

"The charge made against Catholicism is not only specious it is against all of Christianity for the reasons I said in my last post."

Specious isn't the half of it. Nothing is quite so irritating as an bigot with a search engine. We are presented with an endless stream of false premises presented as appeals to ignorance. Some think that all they need to do to prove the truth of any accusation is to provide a link to it under the premise that if it is on the "internets" it must be true.

No, Natural Law. Nothing is quite so irritating is a religious organization that is buried in so many layers of subterfuge, intrigue, and deceit, and those who would lay down their lives to defend the indefensible, that it is only through searching for ourselves that the truth is uncovered. How's that for a marathon run-on sentence...

I can imagine it IS quite irritating that we have such an easy method to extract information that in the past required an expensive library or access to one. The Internet has been both a blessing and a curse - I'm not at all implying that everything on it is true. But, come on, when we can see multiple research papers and articles that point to ancient religions and their symbols and then see those very same symbols used in a religion that also claims antiquity, it's should be logical to question why. That you do nothing but disparage and name call anyone who uses such information, shows an inability to prove it wrong. If you have evidence contrary to what these sources say, post it. It's that simple.

If all you can offer is disdain, curses and superiority as your "input", perhaps open religion forums are not your cup of tea. Respect should be mutual and expected when we dialog with others.
