>>Until all are treated equally

“And where does calling non-Catholics “lackwits” fit in with treating people reasonably?”

Problems with that sentence:

1. Didn’t say “treated reasonably;” said “treated equally.” This, obviously, does not refer to any poster’s comments.

2. Didn’t call “non-Catholics” lackwits; called some specific Protestants of my acquaintance lackwits. The comment, quite obviously, refers to them alone.

“Or what about your cohorts who refer to non-Catholics as “mouth breathers”?

We’re only human. After years and years of insult, untruths, and replies that betray a total lack of comprehension, tempers fray. I’m sorry. We should all be saints, but many of us fall far short.

It is a fundamental principle of Western Civilization that the guy who punches somebody in the nose is guilty in a way than the punched guy who punches back is not. A little recognition of that principle would be welcome.

The principle on the Religion Forum is that two wrongs do not make a right - the guideline says when one poster in a sidebar is warned, all posters posters in the sidebar should consider themselves warned.

Oh?

Here is your EXACT quote from #556:

I can handle far more than those lackwits can hand out.

Once again; you've been shown to FORGET what you actually typed when called on it.

I'd suggest leaving that church, as it apparently fails at getting folks to modify their attitudes, actions and/or lifestyle.

Turn the other cheek then.
