    Can't We Just Accept?

    You make a very good point and I agree with you 100%. We Catholics do not believe in proselytizing and you will never see a Catholic priest or follower asking someone else to convert. And yet, there are many more converts to Catholicism in any given year than there are for all other world...

    LDS Evidences

    Your approach to this argument is completely in the wrong direction. It’s not up to me to discredit or disprove the book of mormon. It’s up to you to convince yourself and others of the accuracies of this manuscript. There are many fallacious manuscripts that have been written over the years...

    Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity

    I respect your differences of opinion but I just disagree. I don't see anything in the article that can be taken as offensive to non-believers. I am very confident in my Catholic faith and I would never allow members of another religion to make me feel miserable. I'm trying to place myself in...

    Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity

    My point is that praying to Christ in a public school is not hurting anyone. People may find it in bad taste but it doesn’t hurt anyone. Those who find it offensive have really lost all perspective. It's like finding the phrase "Merry Christmas" offensive and insisting that people use "happy...

    Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity

    I went back and reread the article and I must disagree. The jewish families were complaining about Christian prayer in school. Public school is a public place. The harassing started AFTER the families had filed the law suit. I actually agree with the families that prayer of any kind has no place...

    Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity

    I used jews in the example because they were the ones who were complaining about how offensive praying in school was for them. But one could substitute any religion in the phrase if applicable. If a Roman Catholic were complaining about protestants praying in school then one could substitute...

    LDS Evidences

    I am not trying to argue with you. I realize the no matter how rational and strong my arguments are, I will not succeed in convincing you on the fallacies of the book of mormon. And I gain nothing if I were to succeed in convincing you of its fallacies. We are here to exchange ideas and...

    Jewish family flees Delaware school district's aggressive Christianity

    Roman Catholics hold strongly to the belief that you practice your religion by committing yourself to a life of good works. You don't wear your religion on your sleeve for all others to see. That's hypocrisy! You live your religion by doing works of charity, being kind to others, living a...

    LDS Evidences

    Whoever wrote the book of mormon relied heavily on text from the OT. In fact, biblical scholars have pinpointed a book in the OT that is very similar to the phrases used in the book of mormon. So, it's not surprising that some references in this book were lifted right out of the OT, edited to...

    Second Time Switzerland spoke up against Israel action

    I’m with Switzerland on this one. Pal civilians and the gaza infrastructure are being mercilessly bombed because a soldier was captured. Excuse me but isn’t there a war going on between these two people? In wars, soldiers get captured and soldiers fight each other. There is a reason why...

    Umm...what is the Israeli government thinking?

    This is a very good point that you make. These people on both sides of this conflict are not Christians. They do not believe in forgiveness or turning the other cheek. Both of these people and their religions are geared towards blaming everyone else except themselves for their misfortunes...

    How Important Are Religious Differences Between Friends and Partners?

    Everyone whom I consider to be a friend is Catholic. My whole family is Catholic and my European ancestry is all Catholic going back to the Roman Empire. Everyone whom I have ever placed my trust in has been a Catholic. It's is easy for me to be this selective because there are so many...

    Alizee New Music Video

    The lyrics are offensive. There is no doubt about that. But I disagree with you that she is doing it for attention or acceptance. She is a popular singer in Europe and she is quite rich. She can do anything she wants and she chose to do this. She was already accepted by large numbers of...

    Alizee New Music Video

    For those of you who haven't heard of her, Alizee is a French pop singer who is much like Madona was in the USA. Being of French heritage, I have followed her musical career for years and I really like her singing and stage performances. To me, she is an artist and a performer. Anyway, she...

    South Dakota: Political Disaster For Pro-Life?

    Abortion is a socioeconomic issue and not a legal issue. It would be nice to pass a law that would make abortion illegal and have the effect of actually reducing or eliminating the number of abortions. But, that's just wishful thinking. It's equivalent to assuming that laws against drunk...

    Why Do Some Christians Not Recognize The Holy Mother Of Jesus?

    The "Immaculate Conception" is another name for Mary. The Catholic Church recognized this name several centuries ago to reinforce the idea among believers that Mary was conceived without sin (ie she was born of a virgin mother). The phrase "Immaculate Conception" gained popularity in Lourdes...

    Is Secularlism A Genuine Threat To Religion?

    I guess it really depends on the religion. If your religion is based on fanatical beliefs and ignorant conclusions then yes, secularism is going to root out those deceptive beliefs and expose them for what they are. Christ never attempted to separate himself from the secular world around him...

    Does The Bible Encourage Violence?

    When the Gospels and Acts of the Apostles were written, the Catholic leaders of the day decided to add what we now call the "Old Testament" and create what we now call the Bible. They did this for a number of reasons and here are a few. Most Catholics during the first century AD were also...

    Last minute converts.

    A Catholic leader in the Church would not be able to make such a public statement and get away with it. They would be excommuncated and thrown out of the Church immediately. On reason why we have a hierarchical structure of bishops and priests is to maintain the faith that was handed down to...

    Why Do Some Christians Not Recognize The Holy Mother Of Jesus?

    Mary has appeared to many Saints and common folk over the centuries. The most famous ones are at Fatima, Portugal and and at Lourdes, France and there have been many others. Her messages are consistent with the teaching of Christ. Her messages are not asking us to worship her or to glorify...
