LOL! I can certainly relate. Signs should be prominently displayed that say, "Please, do not feed the gargoyles!"
Check the posting history of the worst offenders. You will see they talk about little else. They also have a dedicated caucus of camp followers whom they will call in to dominate any thread which even suggests there may be good in the target of their hatred.
While I personally see organized religion of any kind as mainly another way to divert my hard-earned money to them, I must confess that I have a special affection for both Mormons and Catholics for all the crap which gets thrown at them. I've never been able to comprehend the Taliban Christian animosity to both groups beyond the fact that both groups believe good works are necessary in addition to faith in Jesus Christ. The best I can figure is that they think God grades on a curve and these two groups are breaking or distorting the curve. Otherwise, they'd just shut up and leave them alone or possibly even try to upstage them with good works of their own.
I want to shake your hand.
What he said. And THANK YOU.
Anybody who says otherwise is just a tool of the Whore of Babylon.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Anyway, this is a nice thread, and an open one, too. :D
So far.
O Bravo, you have gotten right to heart of the matter, and have pointed out, that which should be obvious to everyone....
Well I appreciate your sense of this subtle difference.
What I mostly see is conservative A/C’s calling me and most Christians thoughout time lame idiots.
Of course this includes people like St. Frances, Joan of Arc, St. Jerome, and well lets face it. These giants of Western Civilization are not as sharp or as good at living the Gospel as your average A/C FREEPER.
Live and well.
HI Judith Anne...
Yes, this is a nice open thread, and a very refreshing change....as you said, so far...
Great post.
I think there are other things that the left would like to do that evangelicals will not:
1) Put your clergy in prison for speaking out against homosexuality
2) Shut down your charities unless you give out birth control
3) Shut down your churches unless you perform gay “marriage” ceremonies
Compared to being annoyed by evangelicals trying to save you, it’s not even worth bothering about the evangelicals.
Now I don't have too much trouble with the anticommunist..Even a stopped clock is right twice a day...
But the same hate fuels racism as fuels anti catholicism.
And close down your hospitals unless they perform abortions.
Hiya, FReeper FRiend. :D
Ah! How could I have forgotten that one?
“And the Secular Left just loves to pit the Evangelicals against the Catholics”
Thanks for your insightful response. As one of our founding Fathers said: “If we don’t hang together, we’ll surely hang separately”.
BTW, everytime I see DU, the first thing I think of is Ducks Unlimited. LOL!
Catholics are second only to Mormons in being the most hated brand of religion by the moonbats of the religious left. Of course if they are a CINO, like JF Kerry or a faux Mormon, like Harry Reid, they get a pass.

There is no doubt in my mind Catholics are far more hated than any other group in this country.

Really? List examples here at FR please.
Great answer to Always Right. I think he’ll have to change his nickname here soon.
