First, I am Catholic, and so is this other guy.
I responded to him and asked, "Do you remember how you felt when the first news about Catholic priest abuses in Boston broke, a couple of decades ago?"
He replied, "I was sort of numbed with disbelief."
"Okay," I continued, "and have you ever thought about how such a scandal could exist for so long, not to mention other scandals? Have you ever thought about the power structure at the top levels of the church administration that manipulated things to keep all the scandals a secret?"
"I guess I never thought of it that way," he replied.
"Well, " I said, "do you think that the the Catholic church is the only entity in the history of the world to have a power structure, and secret scandals, etc.?"
Silence.
"And so," I added, "by simple extrapolation, I am confident that a relatively tiny number of people in the highest positions among the governments, corporations and other institutions are all busy pushing their agendas, and protecting their secrets. And if that's true, it's probably just as true that an even higher level of controllers are orchestrating things to their advantage and to further their agenda."
Deer in the headlights stare.
I don't love my religion more than Christ, I'm just trying to clarify your idiotic misconceptions since you're the one who started throwing (factually wrong) shade against us to begin with. It looks to me you would rather shit on Catholics than love them as fellow Christians but whatever that's your business... You insult the 1.2 billion Catholics of the world by claiming their faith is a cult based on witchcraft. I would ask how exactly I'm projecting here but there's no point because won't be replying to any more of your messages. Like I said earlier, you can't even talk to someone who has already made up their mind and thinks anyone who disagrees is a cult member practicing witchcraft. Actually being surprised when statements like that upset people is proof you're a tone deaf fool.
As you define yourself as a Catholics "of the world" I might add, before a Christian. Yes if you define yourself other than a follower if Christ, You are at war with my savior and don't even know it.
If it's an insult to tell you that there is no other comms with the father to have faith in then yes. Be very insulted and reeeee all you want.
I noticed it's sinking in around the the last few sentences. "Why does everyone keep calling us cult members, Mary mother of grace? Can you pray to the Father on our behalf about this" good on you. Catholicism is of the world. True statement
Catholics are Christians, cretin.
Your username definitely checks out.
Christians are Christians. Not any other name. The Bible makes that clear.
Glad you finally figured it out. Im not one reason with heathenistic cultists and their ritualistic doctrine. That's actually something commanded by the father. Sorry to disappoint. If you actually fixated on the word instead of the world you would know that. I'm just not of this world.
That's actually something commanded by the father. If you actually fixated on the word you would know that.
Christians are only called Christians, the Bible makes that clear? Please, tell me the verse! You know, because you're so "actually fixated on the word"... So Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists... all of them aren't Christian? You keep talking about the word yet fail to ever cite a single verse. You're too busy making up ridiculous assumptions about me, a person you've never met. Once again your username checks out.
My favorite verse is actually Galatians 1:10, which tells you to avoid worldly desires like pleasing other people. I don't care if you approve of my supposed "cult" because God's approval is all that matters to me. This "cult" you speak of was founded by the disciples of Christ, including Peter. The very people who WROTE the fucking word in the first place!
Go eat some more crayons, I think you've had enough internet for today.
If your religion is so solid why do you feel it needs to be defended. Sounds like a house built upon sand. I'll take my chances with the Rock.
You also spelled "exposing" wrong
