Really? How else will the world put an end to the arguing and killing over religion and bring about "peace and harmony" if not by distilling all religion down to the "basic beliefs" that all will agree on?
Sure won't happen by "pulling the plug" on a forum. The world will never be able to do that. God will take care of this himself. Steve

I'm about to start a brand new website called 24hour_antiCatholic.com.
I figured why distract from a perfectly nice hunting and shooting website with the weekly bloodletting of Catholics from the cheap seats.
This way, we can do the anti-Catholic thing on time, all the time ... oh wait, wasn't that CATC???
I was tired of the chickensh!t operators.

I noticed that the plug was pulled on the Supposedly Christian forum. You did the correct thing, as many were degenerating to name calling: calling other religions' cults, wicked and worse. It came down to if you didn't believe in certain people's way, ther could be no commodius discussion. Some could not agree to disagree. I've never seen such a bunch of intolerance and ignorance in a supposed Christian forum in my life.

For some reason, the nice nondenominational folks who ruled CATC could not recognize that the word Mormon was not spelled Moron. I'm surely not a Mormon, but I respect them and surely recognize their right to worship God in any way they choose.
Calling them "Moron" time after time after time goes way beyond poor spelling. And it goes beyond the occasional id slip.
It is bigotry. And that was Rick's point.

Dogzapper. I am the guy who did the misspelling and told everyone it was an error. I knew nothing about the Mormon religion and asked some hard questions on the form. Once a MORMON came forward and responded to my questions I said "good enough for me" and that was the end of it. I take people at their word. As for the rest of the form I told Rick that nothing he posted or did would stop those attacking Catholics or anyone else for that matter within Christ at The Campfire. I know this from personal experience within my own family. So taking the whole thing down was the only way to stop people who are unable to stop themselves. Than again maybe Rick was under the influence of the Devil? After all there is something Diabolical about this. Still get a chuckle about that post. Anyways I think the form brought out the worse in nearly everyone. That was true for me. Few if any are without some degree of guilt and none behaved at their very best. I sure didn't.

Looks like this has turned into a pretty good thread. Reckon it's gonna die?

Steve I'm the only nondenominational guy I knew of that posted with any regularlity on CATC. I think you have your "facts" misplaced. Lots of that going on.

Besides, non-denominational is a denomination of its own. (sure glad I'm denominational. Didn't get painted with that brush. Maybe ya otta think about joinin' up, Brother Rick. )

Don't listen to him Rick! I don't think I caught any flak at CATC until I owned up to being a Baptist . Didn't make any difference that the church I belonged to shut down in 1987 and I ain't found another one yet .
I think it is good to have a denomination so you can know what you are deviating from !

You guys are funny! I know you have often said that non-denom's were just another denom, Keith, but certainly not like the others. Go to 10 and you will find 10 different takes on many things. That makes it kind of hard to find the right one: you never know just what their approach to different doctrinal topics will be. That's not nearly as true for the other flavors. Most follow the party line on most of the visible stuff though the pastor may give or even preach some variations on some things. I just like to follow the Bible's teaching about all things as close to what it says as possible. I find that the more you understand the less there is to follow. Put it all into loving God and your brother as yourself and the rest is mostly there to see who can trip over it. Lots do. Some don't have enough to trip on so they add more. That's not for me.

[/quote] Whoa, RickyD, Don't be aligning this ol' bigot with them denomination guys! Never did claim a denomination and never will. Reckon that makes it harder for them to " flame " me, whatever that is. Way I see it from the scripture, when I became a Christian, I became a member of the one and only true church, that being Gods'. And I find in the same book words that say " for there is no other name given under heaven by which you must be saved." Good enough for me for all eternity!

You've got it, BigBuck215!!! God won't care what denomination we were when we get to Heaven... He will only look to see if Jesus' blood has washed our sins away.

Thanks, Penny I became a Christian in 1978 and have always enjoyed being called just a Christian. Why be proud of being recognized as something else? Denominations made the scene long after the New Testament Church, Gods' Church, was started. Hooray for Christians!

The only reason I have a denominational tag is because people tag me anyway. I run against a lot of the other men who claim the same denomination. I am a Christian first and foremost, and I attend a church with a tag. Amen on the blood washing me clean. Amen on the church which is his body. If ya came spoiling for an argument from me, ya came to the wrong place. Anyone that is saved volunteered, Gene. Even the babtists, and I certainly know what a strange concept that is to some of them.

Yeah , I know Keith but lotsa folks just kinda got drafted into Mama and Daddy's church and never really explored nothing else . I ain't saying there is anything wrong with that concept at all .
It just come to me as an adult one day that I never was allowed to believe there was not a God . So I allowed myself to start over with an open mind . I just couldn't get my head around the idea of a creation without a Creator of some kind .
Once I started visiting with Whatever it was that built all this He started showing Himself to me a little at a time . It didn't take very long for me to see that - sure enough - He was Jesus . He That Built All THis is how I thought of Him for awhile .
I had been baptised in a Baptist church back when I was drafted and I knew that - as a group - they didn't believe too much stuff , but what they believed went plumb from top to bottom . Still left a feller plenty of room to come up with his own take on most stuff .
And that's the way I like it .
