I know what i believe. I also know that you're trying to bait me. So you're going to have to go all the way with it or forget it.

Ah, take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. Lighten up a little, dude.
It's just that if you say yes, then you have been more influenced by Augustine than you care to admit.
I'm quite fine.

I am well aware of that. I'm not as stupid or ignorant as you think I am.
Now, if you're going to ask me if I believe in a concept or not, you are going to have to show me the scriptures that say whether or not I should or should not believe it. Remember that.

Well, in a way sex invented all of us except Adam and Eve.
In that case, if sex were such a sin, then why is "immaculate conception" isolated to that of Adam and Eve...
Or you could just answer the question.
Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's conception, not Adam and Eve's.

Who said sex is a sin? And your humor needs work. I suggest working on the set up more before you deliver the punch line.

I did answer it. I'm not familiar with the concept you introduced so you'll have to enlighten me - with scripture. I'm not moved by extra-Biblical opinions.
The answer required a yes or no, which you dance around.

It also requires a definition of a term you introduced. So define it Biblically or forget it.
Prolly because you're a hell bound Protestant. The nuns at Holy Angels Church elementary school taught me al-l-l-l about you people.

Not good enough. I want scriptures quoted by you both for and against it.

Most Catholics I know consider Protestants to be fellow Christians. I'm sure all of them don't feel that way, though.

If you can use scripture to teach it, what do we need St. Augustine's opinion for?

It's called theology.
There is all the theology we need right there in the word of God. You just proved it.
St. Augustine's treatise is valuable because people can study what he wrote, compare it to God's word and possibly find that their faith has grown stronger as a result - whether they find what he wrote was correct or not.
