Archbishop Fulton Sheen once wrote: “There are not over a hundred people in the United State who hate the Roman Catholic Church; there are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church.”
I was one of those who hated because of what I wrongly believed about the Catholic Church. The reason I had these beliefs was due to being told what to believe about the Catholic Church from those who were told what to believe about the Catholic Church. No one was willing to find out what the bottom line was concerning the Catholic Church. Everything said about the Church was taken as truth while it seemed no one was delving into what the truth really was.
What about these Catholics? They worshipped Mary. They had a religion but not a relationship with Jesus Christ. They said they believed in God but really their belief couldn’t be the same, could it? The Bible says in James 2:19 KJV “Thou believest that there is one God; Thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble”.
So do Catholics have a belief such as the devils? When most Catholics are asked if they have been “born again” or “have accepted Christ as their Savior”, their main response is “I believe in God” or “I am a good person”, or “I’m Catholic”. Also, they have all these rituals, Saints, Statues and what about the Pope is he really standing in for God? Another big item, are they cannibals when they eat the bread and drink the wine during communion? Why do they leave Jesus on the cross, don’t they realize Jesus has risen from the dead?

Not unless you and your friends want the never ending discussion. They are the ones that turned it into another Catholic bashing thread.
Not looking for perfectly flat. But my backyard has a 37% incline. Darn tough to mow in the summer.
Belated ping...
Your beef is with the last 2,000 years of recorded Christianity. Too bad all the Church fathers are not still around. You could email them all and tell them they have no idea what were talking about.
And if they were in 100% agreement on all of these topics discussed on this board, then you might have a point.
I could give a rat’s patootie about your beliefs. Why the obsession with mine?

The land on 3 sides of me are farm: corn and soybeans alternative years.
I have a strip; under high tension lines about 3 acres, that my neighbor share crops.
I have 13 acres, mostly trees, that was full of underbrush when we got this place 10 years ago. It's now open enough to actually enjoy a bit.
You want JEALOUS!?
Just wait until Binger posts a picture from his front porch!
Yup; she sure did!
Jonah did too!
Jonah 1:1-2
The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
What's that in degrees?
My place has a 10' difference across about 1/4 mile.
What was once dubbed The Lake of Death is now the Depression of Dampness.
Now cats?
That's another story!
Oh?
Evidence speaks the other direction.
