it's just gone 1am and i've been on the red bull all night, so this might not make much sense. (i've had approximatly 30'000% of my RDA of vitamin B12 tonight...as in 300 times my recommended daily allowance...)
anyway-do you never get the idea that however flawed or ignorant BF101 may sound, there's at least one person countering something else with an either equally silly reply, or completly missing the point of someones post? at least he has an excuse! (the WORD OF GOD, incase you didn't relise...). also-you might find it irritating (i do at times...especially the caps...), but do none of you ever get fed up with the constant piss-taking? seriously? i find this equally irritating 🙂
and for every thread started by a christian, there are numerous ones started by those attempting to pick fights...
but then again, this is a debated forum. meh.

I never claimed such a thing.
when he suggested that fundamentalist Catholics did exist, so I wanted
to clarify your position on the matter.
Do fundamentalist Catholics exist, and do they cause the same sort
and quantity of problems that Protestant fundamentalists do?

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI don't think I've run into any Catholic Fundies. Usually just old women who pray alot. And I mean alot. I do think that the Catholics truly understand the art of prayer. You really got to put your heart into it.

I have run into a lot of secular fundies, though, and they are always out to pick a fight. Why is that? What makes them so angry?

Please do not refer to the past and accusing me at the same time. It is an invitation to play a game I do not like playing at the moment. I have to decline. My memory is bad.
I do not recalll there are any serious Roman Catholics that condone killing as a way to solve human problems. .... except of course the liberal ones.

In particular, I'd have you read the last sentence:
"If, indeed, the Christian civilization of Europe has become universal culture, in the highest sense, the glory redounds, in no small measure, to the Crusades."
I guess all of the Crusaders were the liberal ones.

I mean, historically, there have been many Roman movements
which advocated violence for the purpose of conversion.
In any event, I don't recall 'killing' be the subject of the debate
here.
As for their not being Roman Catholic fundamentalists, certainly
I disagree; there are plenty of charismatic Roman Catholics.
In America, there have been Charismatic RC Renewals in many
dioceses.

Good point, ivanhoe. It's not just the Protestants. Ivanhoe rightly reminded us that the Catholics have them too.
