Go ahead and be Catholic if you want too.....sheesh.


I’m not Catholic; turned it down a long time ago.

There is a big difference between denouncing ideas and men as you well know.

Unless you’re denouncing us for arguing about this stuff, which I assume you’re not. I assume you feel there are better things to argue about perhaps? If so that’s your call.

The fact remains that Christianity is imbedded in the values of the West. The very fact we can have these conversations and not fear for our lives from repercussions of our opinions by the govt or our tribes is owed to Christian ideals. As much as people wrongly suggest we’d all kill each other given the chance that’s simply not the case.

I have far more I agree with nighthawk on than disagree. Ghat doesn’t mean we can’t spar. I’d break bread and hang with him happily; and I’m confident he would me.

You, on the other hand...

(That’s a joke...)



Christianity is not the issue, one man setting himself up as God's mouthpiece is, particularly when he delves in to realms he has no business venturing in to.



Christianity isn’t the issue........”christians” are.
