I disagree with your characterization of Jefferson's words. At the cusp of the Revolution, the scripture people were reading was "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." (Gal 5:1) When it became clear that even...

I've never seen such a bumper sticker in my life and I can guarantee I drive about 20 times more miles than you do. It's very low brow to take a kook's bumper sticker and castigating it as representing an entire belief system. I think you know better.

I never gave it much thought until I heard Hank Hennograff make mention of it. The Bible Answer Man asserted the conflict of traditions as a reason Christians should consider burial and not cremation. Christians look to the holy Scriptures and see that the graves will one day be opened, and...

My words, as always, are shrewdly crafted. I didn't call the participant an imbecile. Even so, your words of caution are well heeded.

You're going to have a hard time making a Biblical case that social institutions to redistribute wealth are implied by the gospels. The Left, which you are clearly apart of, has succeeded in perverting the definition of greed so it doesn't apply where it should. Greed isn't wanting to keep...

Which takes us even further away from the initial claim that Mormons think coffee contaminates the soul. I'm actually aware of this debate as well as many others in the LDS community because I have this unsettling and inexplicable thing I do. I actually talk to them instead of about them. The...

This is very typical. Do you have proof that Mormons base their abstinence from caffeine on this or any other particular Bible verse? Do you know the difference between a doctrine and a discipline? Where's your proof that they believe coffee contaminates people's soul? I take great offense...

I find it entertaining how you neatly sidestepped the fact that Scripture records the birth of Christ was commemorated. Not only that, but it was celebrated as the most significant event in the history of creation, which it was. God became man and took on our humble form. I also find it humorous...

Ha ha! People can surprise you. I was a die hard conservative fundamentalist until I just recently revealed that I have lesbian friends who I allow to babysit my children. Looking at other perspectives is healthy. Staying in our own perspective bubbles is very unhealthy.

I'm glad the Catholic Church recognized the encroaching threat the Masons posed and took action to stop it. You can't even give us credit for that?

It's small wonder that as people in this country have abandoned faith in God, our geo-political influence in the world has turned from beneficial to oppressive and even malignant. I don't like to be told that I'm not being patriotic or that I'm bashing my own country because I'm looking at...

And you can see from some of the posts here, especially the OP, that they're not interested in the truth. And if you think it's just us Catholics, they do it to Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses too. My philosophy is simple. If somebody disagrees with what Catholics believe, I'm fine with that...

It seems you like Obamacare because it forces others to pay for your medical treatment. I know you have it hard, and I'm not heartless in grieving how people suffer from chronic and life threatening illnesses, but nothing justifies socialized medicine where healthy people are forced to pay for...

No it isn't. The Bible isn't silent on any social issue. This is just like your attempt to say the Bible doesn't speak against birth control and it does. The Bible isn't a charter of laws that a lawyer sifts through to look for loopholes and what his client can get away with, it's a direct...

I once asked my lady friend what she thought about couples like them adopting a child. She said tersely that any woman who wants a child should marry a man. She said that adopting a child only highlights the fact that same sex couples weren't designed to bring children into the world. One...

I don't know what you mean by characterizing me as saying "man is master of his own will and thereby master of his own fate." I've never said any such thing and I don't believe in moral free agency, the belief that man is equally able to choose good as he is evil. Man is inclined to sin and...

Agreed. I'm glad that you understand the threat of the masonic order. As you might know, the Catholic Church expressly forbids us to be members of it. It really goes to show how subtle the deception of Satan can be.

I was actually referring to the gospel Chic tracts but you're right, there are some rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth anti-Catholic tracts they publish too. Sometimes hate is well disguised.
