Summations Only

Yes that's the reaction I would think any normal person would have, but at EvC I'm so used to everybody objecting to everything I say I'm astonished anyone sees any of it as I do. Of course as a Protestant I'm suspected of nothing more than an emotional sort of anti-Catholicism, for which any information I muster is nothing more than an empty attempt to justify myself. Never occurs to anybody it's the information that turned me against the Pope in the first place.Anyway I'm surprised that anyone at all would get the point of anything I say. I don't want to say thanks, I just want to express amazement. You are just as odious to me as everybody else, but at least on this one subject I'm getting a bit of a reprieve. Not thanks, but maybe congratulations for being sane. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

That was not intended, I assure you.I should explain better. Every church/synagogue/temple is the Vatican. Especially yours. As you are against the Catholics so I am against all religionists. And you, M'lady, are most welcome anyway.

Righto. Of course I should have known. It doesn't matter that the papal system commits egregious crimes of all sorts, from covering up the sexual crimes committed by their priests because of the unbiblical rule of celibacy, committed murders down the centuries to gain or hold onto political power, murdered tens of millions of Jews, Muslims and true Christians in the name of their phony religion, to protecting the Nazi murderers from prosecution, while Protestantism as an ideology doesn't do anything of the sort, to you it's all the same. Remind me to ignore all seeming agreements from now on.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Only "as an ideology", eh? Looks like a drifting goalpost to me. Because we know that individual Protestants like Jim Bakker, Rex Humbard, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. have done their share of crossing the line.Edited by ringo, : Spellinge.

Ahh, a litany of religious wrongs. One of thousands of such lists for every religion ever conceived. Evidence yet again of religion's great harm to humanity.

You actually typed the quote above on the day the Southern Baptists are voting to finally have at least a smidgen of accountability for the sexual abuse they've been ignoring for decades.Romans 3:23 " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"Protestants have been as sinful and bloody handed as any other group. Geez the Puritans were hanging Quakers just for being Quakers.

Protestants are certainly sinful but PROTESTANTISM is not as an institution guilty of some kind of organized sin the way the papacy is.

See post above.

There's no such thing as "organized sin". Sin is an individual matter.

If your claim of innocence comes down to the fact that Protestantism is divided into many Churches, it isn’t much.

On the other hand, "changing demographic" might be a good description of what happened to the Navajo!

It shows their gates close at the borders of their gated communities (except for nannies and pool-cleaners, etc.) not at the borders of their country.

On the other hand, the change in "mix" wasn't so good for the Iroquois, was it?

So there you go! Some cultures can be respected, some practice certain practices that must not be respected.

If you think I've made a false statement, you're free to present your evidence for your thinking.
