Just the other day, a [Roman] Catholic was taking another to task for being a bigot (though that exact word may not have been used).
Would you like for me to look that one up, search for that exchange and provide a link? I could send it by freepmail...if you would prefer.
There could be further examples of those otherwise invisible-to-you 'scintillas' from that person.
What a cheap excuse. That can be on some occasions like blaming all one's own speeding tickets to "speed traps" and it's all the poh-leece's fault, never one's own careless driving habits, such regardless of just blasting along at 45mph in a school zone when the yellow lights are flashing.
By which I mean, there can be legitimate complaint. But those complaints themselves can be subjected to examination and/or rebuttal.
If the defense strategy doesn't work, to use again the above traffic infraction allegory --- like --- the evidence shows it is not a speed trap, the officer has a read-out from a radar gun, plus three civilian witnesses(!), one of those from your own church ecclesiastical community, all saying that so-and-so was driving like a bat out of [deleted], then sorry charlie -- pay the fine, or a judge may take it personal-like, and sign warrant as towards the offender being escorted to the hoose-gow for 'failure to appear'.
“Well mister, you were shown examples of anti-protestant bigotry”
Where are they? Nothing that I was shown came close to bigotry. This constant lying is one thing that convinces me the Father of Lies is behind this.
“if the same or similar had been expressed as to ‘Catholics’ as you have expressed as to those Christians not [Roman] Catholic — it would likely be seen as “bashing”, etc.”
Utter nonsense.
“Just the other day, a [Roman] Catholic was taking another to task for being a bigot (though that exact word may not have been used).”
Rebuking a bigot is not bigotry. Unless you can show how a Catholic displayed anti-Protestant bigotry, I don’t care to see it.
“Would you like for me to look that one up, search for that exchange and provide a link? I could send it by freepmail...if you would prefer.”
And you have the gall to complain about “snarkiness.”
“What a cheap excuse.”
Not half as cheap as making accusations that one cannot substantiate. All of the bad behavior I have seen has come from Protestants—not all Protestants behave badly, but all who do are Protestant.
Go ahead: show me some bad behavior by Catholics, if you can, and I will have to modify that statement to, “99% of the bad behavior I have seen has come from Protestants—not all Protestants behave badly, but all who do are Protestant.”
Finally, to reiterate, I have become convinced that Satan is behind this constant denigration of the Church. I think, and this has been proposed many times in the past, that it would be better simply to ignore them.
I intend to give that a try, starting right now.
