Won’t happen. In fact, I predict that this will be a very long thread, with tons of Catholic bashing and a veritable square dance of self-righteousness.
Trust me, if anyone thinks that this thread will disappear, he/she has not hung around on the Religion forum for any amount of time.
Ya know, I am a born again Christian. I often witness my faith in Christ to others. If they have honest disagreements with me or do not understand what I am saying, even if they do not believe God exists, I do not consider them as bashing my faith. I consider that it is my burden to help them understand who Christ is and what He has done for them.
There are times when mean spirited people who are ugly are bashing God, Jesus and having faith in them. Even then I remember that I once was like them and try to have patience and love towards them. If all one thinks if someone disagrees with you is that they are bashing you I do not think that you will have the proper love towards that person. If you are right in your beliefs you ought to be able to defend them without being so defensive as to label those who honestly disagree with you as bashers.
