cs80918,

You consistently distort Catholic teaching and scripture then run away and hide.

When your lies are exposed, you don't even attempt to defend yourself or apologize.


What faith is it that supports such behavior?

Still waiting....

Give it a rest, chesterton.

90 lousy minutes? 

Four days.

I didn't want this thread to fade away with his slanders still at the top  of the page.

He posted lies about the Church then ran away.

Sorry, I won't "give it a rest."

IMHO, we are all equal, unseparated, Brothers and Sisters in Christ - sharing our faith and attempting to articulate doctrine.  These discussions are constructive ONLY when we dicuss the ISSUES before us.

When a poster diverts the discussion from the post to the POSTER - making it PERSONAL, this, IMHO, not only reveals that the poster doesn't have a constructive thing to say in response (he's "empty handed" so to speak), but desires to shift the discussion to personal flaming, attacks, charges, accusations and sometimes slander.  IMHO, this is not only unchristian, a violation of 8th Commandment (Read the Catholic Catechism # 2477-2479), but also simply reveals a desire or need to shift topics.

IMHO, threads of this nature should not be permitted.  But that's obviously not an issue for my determination but for Staff.  IMHO, the accused here is WISE to not only ignore the flame but to regard it for the diversion technique that IMHO it is.

IMHO, let's stick to respectful discussions of faith and practice - honoring each other as brothers and sisters in Christ with whom we will be spending eternity, brothers and sisters whom Christ loves so much that He died for them.


Just MY fallible half cent...

   Josiah can't you contribute more than a ha'penny?   

I can't speak for anyone else, but the validity of my faith and/or doctrine doesn't rely on it being vindicated by the members of other religions.  They can argue and lie all they want.  It makes little difference to me. 

Chester, if you can't handle disagreement -- even if that disagreement is uninformed or even dishonest -- then maybe you chose the wrong place to fellowship.

I'm sure we can get along.  However, when someone slanders another's faith, it is valid to point out the slander and seek reconciliation.


I don't think it is the Christian thing to let slander stand.


Remember, when asking ourselves "What would Jesus do?", sometimes that answer is knock over tables and identify the thieves!

Not sure you've got an equivalent situation here, Chester.

All I'm doing is asking the post in question to admit his mistake and to refrain from coming to the Catholic discussion board then slandering Catholics.

Is that unreasonable?

Then perhaps in the future, you should only fellowship among Catholics.    If you can't handle disagreement -- or if you're not willing to be patient with the misinformed -- then you came to the wrong place.

As for me, I'd much rather gently persuade you to my view, than to beat you over the head for disagreeing.  One is a godly endeavor, the other is only a hostile attempt at self-vindication.

Shake the dust from your feet and move on.

I can handle disagreement, obviously.  It is the other poster who can't address the issues.  In fact, I would love to handle it.  Let's discuss the issues more fully.

Then, IN THAT THREAD, reply to the point of view with DOCUMENTED, SUBSTANTIATED evidence to the contrary.  Address the post, not the poster.  Teach rather than accuse.  State your position - and don't expect (or need or require) others to agree.  If you can't do either, IMHO, the wisest thing to do is to say and do nothing.

"Flaming" is a rule violation at nearly all sites, it means to say negative things about a poster.  IF you feel this poster flamed YOU - report it to Staff (that's what they are there for),  IF you simply feel the poster was incorrect about a statement of fact, give your view (it's called "discussion") and/or DOCUMENT the correct view in an indisputable/undeniable/factual/substantiated manner.

You are not allowed to slander or make unsubstantiated accusations against another person's Christian tradition or denomination or church on this forum.  It is a violation of this board's rules.  You must provide objective evidence or evidence from the source you are making an accusation of in order to prove your charge.  There is not only nothing wrong with pointing that out to a poster, the forum encourages members to do exactly that and report violations.

If a person cannot stand by their words and defend them, then they aught not to be using them.

If you all have issues with another thread, you may all click on the "report to moderator" link on the offending post.  You may also PM and moderator.  Finally, you may PM admin directly for repeat offenders.

However, breaking the rules yourself to counter someone else's perceived rule breaking will not cut it.  Thread locked.
