Well I didn't think it was true that you actually felt that way, after all, not everyone uses the same twisted logic you do, but I guess since you admit it then it makes your attacks of Catholics more consistent.

After all, only a person like you who takes on the beliefs of someone from hundreds of years ago would attribute to modern Catholics the beliefs of Moore whose culture some 500 years ago seems somewhat bizarre to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. It's as if you think they plan on burning someone at the bingo this Sunday for having a non-authorized bible or something.

In a debate of the time, between say Moore or Martin Luther, I think I would be on the side of Martin Luther and not Moore or the Pope. I would make Martin Luther my political hero. But that's just me. I'm more about religious freedom and not persecuting people, and not like you, one who castigates people today by associating them with a lineage of misdeeds from hundreds of years ago.

And given Catholics must bear the guilt of Moore some 500 years later. You must hate all Americans too right? After all they killed Indians and have statues of Washington and Jefferson who were also slave owners. Please tell me you are not an American because you would renounce your citizenship of country that celebrates Washington's birthday, why as recently as this past year.

On this I think we can find some common ground. Baby bye bye is one twisted sister. But then he is more on your side of the coin than mine as he too argues with my POV, and is on your atheist, america hatin team.

Yeah, I pretty much beat you like a drum. So it's time to make up. Have a good night. And try to be a bit more tolerant of people with other beliefs, like Catholics. I may not agree with them either, but that's no reason to persecute them.

Some of my best friends are catholics. I don't want them to invite me over for a barbeque or a stake, but they're all right.

I've been too busy with work to rub the decision all over Wolferine's face, but I have to say that the thread makes me all giddy.

The libertarian/hyper-conservative bitterness is hilarious.

The Chief Justice (no less) just told you flat out that your "opinions" are utterly wrong. So stop crying about it and deal with it. Also, it's time you let go of your irrational beliefs and joined the rest of us in the 21st Century were healthcare is a public problem.

You're correct, More was beheaded (not burned alive, like his victims) because he wouldn't renounce his religious beliefs. Well if you live by the sword you die by the sword, you stupid jackass (More, not you). Why on earth should we admire a man who killed 4+ people for their religious beliefs and then got killed for his own?? Perhaps we'd be wiser to conclude that those were some really sick, violent, superstitious people and thank goodness for the Enlightenment and the Deists and their separation of Church and State? Run that one through your "logic" filter and let me know what happens.

I never condemned all Catholics. I said that Catholics do not believe in religious freedoms. Can you possibly tell me with a straight face that you believe in religious freedom when you subscribe to a religion whose #1 politician is a man who burned someone to death for nothing more than keeping in his home a translation of the Bible that was not approved of by the Pope? And I won't even mention all of the instances of murder and incest and genocide in your holy book. It would take too long and I don't want to throw up in my mouth. Are you really an actuary? This is amazing. Sincerely, I invite you to drop this Bronze Age nonsense and join civilization.

Um, no thanks, I don't want to condemn all of humanity because of the actions of Cain. I think it would be asinine and sadistic to hold another person responsible for a crime that was comitted thousands of years before they were born. And I wouldn't want to condemn humanity for any reason, now that you mention it. I like humanity. I enjoy life on planet earth, I like myself and I love my family. I really can't understand why superstitious lunatic bigots are constantly trying to ruin human civilization.
I thought JFK was the #1 Catholic politician

No, but I was afraid someone like Thomas Moore would invite me over for a BBQ only to find out that the stake had my name on it.
