Still full of tough love, aren't you, CTID?

**You're so foolish. BTW, are you a Jew or a Christian? Get off the fence.**

CTID, some think you should come down off your self-elevated pedestal.

Me? I (along with my better half) was over to some friends home for supper last night. They had all the decorations, tree, lights, etc. I didn't bring it up, but he admitted the tree is pagan, but just likes to set it up, decorate it, and admire it. I left it at that.

I used to do the same thing. But then after being 'born again', in obedience to the Christ, I too (as Paul proclaimed) became a new creature. All things DO become new. One of those things was the 'tree'. Suddenly I realized that the Lord made the evergreen beautiful, as is; green, with a pleasing scent, a home for his beautiful finches. Bringing the tree into the house, and decorating it, seems so foreign, so vain to me.

We set up a ceramic nativity scene. Nothing spectacular, just like the background around that spectacular birth.

Are we thankful? OOOOHHHH yes!

You never answered the question. Are you Jewish or a Christian?

And that's fine if someone doesn't like me. I'm not here to spread some false sense of unity. Protestants have some very disturbing beliefs that can hardly be called Christian. They also seem to have their priorities out of whack. Why pretend that it's OK?

I would just ignore CTID. He does more good for the Protestant cause then he realizes.

In every Catholic/Protestant discussion I've read through, he is always rude and arrogant. You'll not convince him that any non-catholic views have any merit. He finds it easier to hate and attack, which ignores the people that are browsing.

What's funny is he comes across as a "Susan Estrich" of Catholicism.

Sincerely
