That's not the purpose of FR and not the purpose of our Religion forum. Trashing religion is not debate.
Those who cannot live with this are welcome to post elsewhere.
Lol, I donated, plus reinstated my monthly. Now, I think I need some popcorn for this thread.
I hope that door swings both ways.
Verga, she is in a “time-out,” that’s the reason she has been a no-show.
I have, and you have used the Catholic Church as your special whipping boy.
Remember that some, and usually the logically challenged, think that being told "I think you're wrong" is bashing. That holds for Catholics, Protestants, mooselimes, gay-rights nuts, lieberals, well - just about any group..
That's probably because they have no idea how to explain why they think their view really IS right (if it is) or are willing to listen to opposing views (operative word there is 'listen')..
Of course, if I were to state an opinion that you are wrong I'd best be able to explain why I believe that in a decent and orderly fashion - something that I find missing in way too many threads on the subject. For this reason I find it is usually a gigantic waste of my time to engage on the FR religion forum (although there have been some exceptions.. ;-) More often than not it degenerates into the 'pig to sing' scenario.. (You know, don't bother trying to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig.)
As we both know there are those who seem to have had a close personal experience with a rabid possum (as evidenced by their addled thought processes) on both sides of this fence. But having said that, it sure seems that the rabid anti-Catholic bunch is more prevalent here than the rabid anti-Protestant bunch..
Also interesting to note that some who have replied to this thread are members of one or the other group... (while stating falsely that they never post on the religion forum.. ;-)
Very telling......
Curious...could you define “Catholic bashing”? And, may we assume that you mean all “Protestant bashing” must also stop?
I'd like to see that defined, as well. There's a lot of Protestant bashing around. We just aren't getting all butthurt about it.
Mormons should post elsewhere.
I'm Catholic, and I regard this Pope as a flaming Marxist. I don't regard criticism of his pronouncements on global warming and in favor of socialism to be Catholic bashing.
Wow! That is way back when.

LOL.
I am weary and not thinking all too straight today. I misunderstood.
Thank you!
Good policy! I hope the non-bashing rule applies to Mormons too.
Thank you!
Thank you so much, dearest markomalley!!!
FOTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been on vacation.
Guess again....
Thanks Jim but we’re all pretty tough. After all, it’s been 2000 years of bashing. :-D
Gotta draw the line, how else would you get cider with out bashing apples?
Check my posting history.
I have no love for megachurches or televangelists or prosperity gospel preachers.
I’ve posted threads opposing much Pentecostal teaching.
But don’t let the facts stop you.
