As the RM so wisely said, if reading OPEN RF threads bother you, don't read them. How much simpler can it be?

The above has been stated on open religion forum threads on Free Republic so frequently to those who feel the threads [when disrespectful] are out of place on a "conservative" site, hateful toward Christ and His Mother, damaging to good Catholics and non-Catholics as well, and every time I read it, it reminds me so much of the following you see emblazoned on posters by many an embittered pro-abort with a chip on their shoulder the size of Nevada and a love in their heart that is not distinguishable, usually because they've had something to do with the ugly strike against life:

If you don't like abortion, don't have one!

"How much simpler can it be?"

It all depends on what one considers "disrespectful" doesn't it? I've seen FRoman Catholics high five and praise their own who just got done disrespecting and mocking others who are not Catholic and condemning us all to eternal hell for not converting to Roman Catholicism on OPEN RF threads. Then, they pile on many favorable comments to threads deliberately posted to provoke and slam "Protestants".

Comparing a pro-abortion slogan to the RM's warning that OPEN RF threads can be confrontational is not only silly it's offensive to ALL Pro-Lifers and is definitely NOT the same thing. How curious that you would think they are.

Presuming that former Catholics post their objections to the doctrines of Catholicism out of ugly bitterness, hatred in our hearts or because we have a chip on our shoulder only shows the narrow mindedness of many Catholics unable to accept that GENUINE Christians exist outside of the Rome version of it. Gratefully, there are numerous RCs on FR who recognize our shared faith and who do not enter into discussions preloaded with vile and insulting vitriol. I thank God for them and continue to pray for the others.

It's time for a list of examples of the manner of your alleged hate l toward Christ and His Mother. You mean that of reproving the unBiblical demigoddess of the fictitious Mary of Catholicism , in contrast to the holy, virtuous blessed Mary of Scripture?
