.....whenever I read stuff like "the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice" I get an itchy cut and paste finger.... Well the subject of "religious bigotry" and a double standard that is applied to Islam is bound to come up eventually, so......... Islam has special status that none of the other major belief systems do. Islam bills itself as a comprehensive system that encomasses the legal and political organization of society, as well as the devotional, and the domestic. This makes them open to criticism that I for one would never level at Jews, Mormons, Baptists, Zoroastrians, or etc.

I think this is a hunting/shooting and too a lesser extent fishing board, why not just keep it this way.
Good call Rick.

"It is the individual's relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ that is important... NOT the denomination. The denomination is where a believer feels comfortable... sort of like an old pair of jeans and t-shirt, vs. a suit and tie. Some fit some, some fit others"
Mrs B,
I quoted you above and believe you to be spot on. I am RC and was also sick of the rhetoric at CATC. If others would have believed as you, we'd still have it. Seems some felt that Catholics were beneath them and never missed a chance to point that out. Some have even responded to this thread.
I'm of the school to each his own. Whether you roll with the Lord or not is for "you" to decide.

I looked at CATC twice...once to see what it said, and the second time to see if what nonsense I saw there was the norm. It served no useful purpose, IMO. I don't need loons screaming at me.

Remember your dancing/drinking thread? That was a doozy. So was Medjugore(sp). Proof positive of the "love". Mac

"I thought it was funny � " Reminds me of the city cop who thought that it was hilarious when a man tried to kidnap my young daughter on her way to school. It was hard to decide which feces-brain should be shot first. Things that hurt or threaten others are funny only to sick minds that aren't hurt or threatened by 'em.

Ken is far from a non-believer. That is what I thought Rick, but after googleing so many words in his posts I become confused One frequent source of confusion for several good Campfire buddies is the urge to look under my words to see "what I really mean to say." I try to be precise and concise, to say exactly what I mean to say � no less and no more. "The obvious is preferable to the obvious avoidance of it. � H W Fowler

Anybody remember what Jesus did to the fig tree that bared no fruit, in disbelief of the disciples?

The move to nuke CATC is a long time coming. The primary reason, as stated, is my refusal to sponsor anti-Catholic bigotry. If you take my stated reason not to support anti-Catholicism any longer as bigotry toward Fundamentalist, then that is you skewing things. How does protecting Catholicism hurt Fundamentalists anyway? Sad to see you go fish, but I will not create a forum for Catholic bashing, and not allowing such a forum is not any kind of jab toward Fundamentalists (nor Mormons, nor Anglicans, nor Lutherans). I will not look back in here to see if this post is deleted. i have shaken 24campfire's dust from my sandals, just as you have shaken from your sandals the dust of the great Forgiver. So by nuking CATC I have now abandoned Jesus? Fish, I think you're needlessly entangling things. Was it just catholic bashing or bashing in general. I didn't go the CATC, I have other forums for that. But I've much bias on these boards against every walk of life and faith, so why the statement "catholic bashing". Yet isn't bias part of being human. I have to ask, Is it bashing to say that the divinity of Mary has no Biblical foundation? Or that praying to a "saint" is the same as praying to an idol? I don't think so, but I have my own beliefs. I respect the right of someone to believe differently from me, but I will not shrink from saying "I think you're wrong, or lost." I wish I had at least watched CATC so I would know Rick's stand.

From the first, I've felt that CATC was out of place here � like pews and hymnals at Bass Pro Shops.
. THANK YOU! Perfect, and from the perfect source. Rick, no qualms here. Your sandbox; your rules, and there was a LOT down there that well.... didn't belong.

What a shame that a forum that was meant for fellowship and edification became instead a forum for flagellation and execration. Ken, everytime you type I have to "google it".....grins My daddy said that flaggelation would make you go blind. I just did it until I had to wear glasses Steve My Dad was also a believer in flagellation. He practiced it every day on me, usually until I bled. He died when I was 10, THANK GOD !!!. Because of him I never enjoyed my childhood, never did things with my Dad that other little boys should and certainly grew to HATE him for the way he treated me.

It was hard to decide which feces-brain should be shot first. I know which one I'd have started with. I have yet to meet an officer of the law whom either knew or obeyed the law they profess to represent.

There's the rub garry, what makes you right and someone else wrong? How can you respect the right of someone believing differently than you, but in the same breath, tell them they're wrong?

I quit visiting CATC when it moved from the top to the lower end of the forum list. I'm guessing there wasn't a lot of discussion of the big theological controversies in the Episcopal church.....like whether you can wear white shoes after Easter or have to wait until Memorial Day, or whether you can only serve Mimosas at a morning christening or are Bloody Marys OK as well. Kind of glad I missed the excitement.
