Religion I


The Philosopher's Corner, (and its varied forums) is for those wishing to debate ideas in an
environment relatively free of personal attacks. This does NOT mean that ideas are not to be
challenged and/or heavily debated. Bringing arguments from another forum to this forum or any
other PC forum totally distorts the original message made, gives a biased slant and is
inappropriate. Standing firm and making one's case on its own merits is the intelligent choice.
Attacking and/or challenging an opinion is fair game.. Attacking someone personally is not.

Benefits: length of posts are basically unlimited, and if webforums break down we'll have a
backup forum. :)

I got such a kick out of your parody on that site. They do provide you with a lot of ammo,
don't they? Hee hee...

I went to one of the California Missions in Calif.

Hanging on one of the walls was a large picture of the Virgin Mary floating on the clouds.
Her left breast was exposed and she was squirting breast milk downward to a knelling
man, a Shepard, with a Shepard’s staff, who was also floating in the clouds. He had his
mouth open and was drinking this supposed “milk" of heaven. He also had a “halo” over
his head. I personally believe this Shepard represented Jesus. There was no inscriptions
explaining the meaning of the picture.

As a Catholic I would have a lot of problems with such a picture myself. Sounds like a
modernist image.

Just IMO. Sheesh, just remember, this little atheist bothered ol' Josie/ACNR/Sybil as much
as anyone. He just hates, and he doesn't care who he hates, he hates everyone. Wouldn't
the best thing be to simply stand quietly by and watch the Kilkenny cats eat each other?

That would be the wise thing to do, but I kind of enjoy stirring the pot! I'm sure I'll eventually
get tired of it all. Unlike the Pit Crew I don't have monomania to keep me going and
going...and going... But, for now, it's (at the minimum) typing practice.

There is a lot of stuff like that on many forums and no one to refute it. That's what Ron is
addressing. As for the Mary stuff. I do see why non-Catholics are uncomfortable with the
Catholic doctrine on that. It IS man-made in that Jesus wasn't the one who taught it. I know
that most Catholics are only paying respect to her, but it just doesn't look right. I wish they'd
not emphasize that so much in our church.

People here have strong opinions and aren't afraid to express themselves. Do you have a
problem with that? You have done enough expressing of your opinions in disagreement with
me anonymously over the past few weeks. Is it wrong for others to want to give theirs?

I just took a look at the "snake pit." I found a reference by someone there to the thought that
Jeremiah 7:18 spoke out against the Roman Catholic idea that Mary is the queen of Heaven.
While I disagree with the Roman Catholic Church I must respectfully disagree more with those
false teachers on that forum. Mary wasn't even born when Jeremiah was preaching and
teaching neither was the Roman Catholic Church. How could Jeremiah say anything about
Mary or the Roman Catholic Church. Man, that bunch has lost it.

Nah, to many forums. This has become the most opinion cesured form of any of them.

I think the mod thought you were bringing an argument from Ron's new site over here. Maybe
you should ask him for the password and talk to Trisha over there. I see her point. I just didn't
know what she was talking about at first.

No I don't. All you sent was your responses. You didn't include the body of my actual posts.

I haven't been able to post there. By the way, isn't this a Forum for Religious Debate?

The Mod's Response: Certainly...on topics started here and talked about here. Read the
top statement by Susan. Please don't bring things from other forums here. I wasn't talking
just to you when I posted previously. MOd

I'm not talking about your posts, Pac. I'm talking about the kind like our good buddies from
MR post. That is pure, unadulterated hatred.

I guess it's hard for you to know how frustrating it can be to a Catholic to have so much hatred
pouring out from people about our faith.

Dori, why do you always use the words "hate" / hatred to describe someone who posts
rebuttals to Catholic beliefs?

I guess it's hard for you to know how frustrating it can be to a Catholic to have so much hatred
pouring out from people about our faith, and every bit of it comes from ignorance and fear. I
think a site like Ron's is a good thing. He is a reasonable man to speak with and if people have
questions about Catholicism, he knows it inside out. Remember, also, he has lived both faiths.
He was a Moody bible institute student who spouted off the same kind of anti-Catholic stuff
you see from most antagonists on these forums.

Many times they post gross htings about me and others which I'd like to refute, but there
isn't any place for it.

No. That's absolutely correct. There isn't any place for it, and there' no reason to grant them
the honor of noticing them.

Be a duck, let it slide off your back.
