You address your words to a known unbeliever and say she should give a shit?
​
Could you rationalise? From anyones perspective?

​
Catholicism = Law Abiding
​
1. Practice self-control; Do not indulge in pleasure for the sake of pleasure, act according to reasoned principles. (Like the ten commandments)
​
....or else

Who "you are" came across straight away. Like. I drop by here once in a blue moon (ask anyone) and of all the Religions in all the world that were available to me I had you pegged as
​
Legalist/Catholic = same thing.
​
It's what struck me straight off...honest

Roman Catholicism dripping from the pores here. Keep on getting your act together all the days of your life and then maybe....(I said maybe)...you will be saved.
