    So you're the heretic. You won't find many who hold to all Papal bulls ever in this section.
    Some would say a Catholic who thinks women should be allowed to become priests is a former Catholic.

    Kind of true, but the church never forgets the purse of the vile sinners that they like to take advantage of.

    Charge for sin is their motto.

    Sorry, but that is nonsense.
    Please do not reduce the Catholic faith to that stupid rejection of women.

    Yahweh was an androgynous god, like many of the older traditions.

    I have many links to Catholic women, as well as Protestant women, who suffer from the misogyny and homophobia of the genocidal Yahweh and his followers.

    Only of late have women freed themselves from that corrupted thinking.

    The Catholic I grew up in was fantastic. Born 1950

    Highly sexually permissive though. Every Church had a key clubs, which means wife swap, clubs.

    I did not know of the residential schools, and hope the natives burn all the crosses and put up totem poles.

    I owe Catholics and Protestants a lot though for guiding me to the better part of understanding the bible.

    The Gnostic Christian goal was always to take the supernatural out of Christianity, and have all face reality.

    Look at the Greatly successful Cathars whose highest ideal was a Parfait.

    A perfected person.

    Gnostic Christians were and are esoteric ecumenists and realists who are naturalists and moralists.

    That is when the shat hits the fan, as we call Yahweh a vile demiurge.

    His homophobia and misogyny gets a thumbs down.

    Tell all those who have a hard time with up or down on these issues.

    Regards

    11 votes for: no religion.

    Respect.

    I was Catholic. A near perfect time and place and eye opening religion.

    I owe it a lot and try to pay back by correcting it's poor thinking.

    The bible says that that is the highest expression of live.

    It is the greatest moral teacher, if you read it right.

    I serve by a claim to being a Gnostic Bishop; self appointed, and what might be seen as a Cathar Parfait.

    I have complained of poor apologetics in such places, and here you are to help train me and the others here.

    I hope we can be friends.

    What are your thoughts on the one true god, given the est. 3,100 Abrahamic denominations and sects?

    All shrinking as we speak, but still active.

    You might speak to this last point as well.

    Regards
    DL

    IDK, but you did not indicate what your thoughts were.

    Nice sales job. No wonder Christianity is dying.

    There is no necessity for any kind of "thoughts" or any kind of "sales job" not when the history does not support the contention.

    No deflection, I have read the "theory"; It is nothing more than BS. As for your ass, it may or may not be a bishop but I most certainly am. if I may quote Richard Carrier for whom I have a great deal of respect even as I disagree vehemently "...Atwill is a total crank, and his work should be ignored, indeed everywhere warned against as among the worst of mythicism, not representative of any serious argument that Jesus didn’t exist..."

    So: Atwill argues that Josephus Flavius wrote the NT post 70 CE. What then do we do with Tacitus, the Roman historian, who wrote in his Annals
    Persecution under Nero could hardly have occurred if Christianity did not exist before 70 CE.

    Nope, Atwill's theory is just BS and like most ahistorical BS it rests on on an outlandish conspiracy that requires that most unlikely of human traits, silence.[/quote][/quote]

    The hypocrites tool. Reverse onus.

    Showing Jesus was real is to the believers.

    It is impossible, stupid, to show that something does not exist.

    Thanks for showing your low level of apologetics and reverse onus as you final straw man.

    Look at it this way.....as of now, there are 3 people who can trace their roots back to the Apostles. A comforting thought for sure....

    Only rite that I subscribe to....to much out there to make a person think or want otherwise. Some people are content to be where they are at. Really hard for me to understand how anyone would subscribe to another faith. Any other faith that we have in this world has been created by man. Can't say that about the Catholic Faith.

    Sorry, but Jesus manifests himself in spirit and truth to the sincere of heart. Consequently you have betrayed your insincerity, or you its prisoner. Now devolve into slobber and bile, and fling it. Persecution is not a new thing to him.

    Good.

    But they do not dare to say so.
