The objectionable statement was, "Catholics think of Bible Christians as so shallow..."

Now it is fair to call a slogan, a statement, an argument, a sermon or a book "shallow," but it is not fair to call a whole group of people "shallow." Even a thoughtful individual can sometimes make a shallow argument, an in such case, you call out the argument, not the individual.

Interpersonal and inter-group statements of contempt have become a hallmark of this forum. I have seen people of various denominations guilty of it, including my own --- and including myself, mea culpa.

We can do better than this. Those who cannot do better than this, should refrain from posting.

On days when people are jigging on my last nerve, and the spirit of contempt is clearly getting the upper hand with me, I promise I will try to abstain!!

I agree that “Bible Christians” are not necessarily shallow and there are a lot of Catholics who are so shallow that it’s embarrassing (Nancy Pelosi and friends, I’m looking at you). I’m talking about the depths of the theology they embrace in the first place. Catholics have no excuse for their lack of depth.
