I was banned for this poem at ChristianForums (com)

Well, it is a poem, and since it is such, art is somewhat subjective, and personal to each who comes to view it, as a painting on a wall, a structure in a yard, music flitting through the air, &c. Do you (dear reader) find it personally offensive, and if so, would you mind sharing why?

Actually that poem could fit any number of religious systems, not all of them related to Christ Jesus, but it does have something to be sure that is specific to at least one. Yet, even when that poem is read to target a specific religious system, is it so over the top that it would require a ban, or even mod mediation? I have seen far worse epithets in confrontational posts in several forums that are way more egregious than that poem. Perhaps they were offended that they did not understand the mystery behind it? Who knows.

The 'arbi-traitor' actually said catholics do not worship Mary, to which I replied:

Catholics 'do not worship Mary'? Have you ever heard of hyper-dulia?

"... the Most August Virgin Mary ... this Divine Mother ... Yet our manner of praying to the Blessed Virgin has something in common with our worship of God, so that the Church even addresses to her the words with which we pray to God: "Have mercy on sinners." ... the heavenly choirs, "above whom the Holy Mother of God is exalted." ...” [LEO XIII - AUGUSTISSIMAE VIRGINIS MARIAE; ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII; ON THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE HOLY ROSARY] - Augustissimae Virginis Mariae (September 12, 1897) | LEO XIII & On the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary - Papal Encyclicals​

I found his comment rather amusing, and quite uninformed.

Just so people are aware, I am not anti-Catholic. A catholic is an individual, a person, who needs salvation like anyone on earth (moi aussi). My own family is catholic. I am not against them, but for them. I even read the Bible as oft as I can with them. We have been through Matthew-2 Timothy so far. I am anti-Catholicism. An -ism is a system of belief and practice.

Psa_119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
Psa_119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

Rev_2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev_2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

Notice, Jesus did not say he hated the persons, the Nicolaitans, but rather he hated their deeds and doctrines.

I also presented that argument years ago to that corrupt, wicked forum, and they banned me for it, giving the same reason as presented above. That somehow I am claiming to hate persons is their continual strawman, and made-up position about me which is never true. They have to lie to be rid of the truth.

May it never happen here.
