It's the difference between myself, and my Protestant opposition on this thread.
I, coming from a background both Protestant and Catholic, can discourse cogently about the Christian faith.
These others, who just keep talking trash like they are rooting for their favorite ball team, and ignoring pertinent questions to yet again repeat their sanctified cliches, are merely expressing superstition dressed up in Christian garb. i.e. "magic."
Don't flatter yourself too much, you're going to sprain your arm from patting yourself on the back too much. You're not as unique as you seem to think.
Many of us come from both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds. Most of those of us who speak out about the error we see in Catholicism were baptized and raised as Catholics. We left the Catholic church when we saw the truth in Scripture and couldn't reconcile it with the falsehoods the Catholic church teaches in the name of *holy tradition* that conflicted with the clear reading of Scripture.

If you've had to resort to accusing those who appeal to the authority of Scripture, which the Catholic church claims to have written, of engaging in magic then it's the equivalent of raising the white flag. It's essentially conceding defeat.
