“One for your collection of threads and posts that you claim NEVER bash Protestants.” There’s no protestant-bashing in that thread.

That's right...you don't think ANYTHING is ever posted on the RF that qualifies as Protestant bigotry or bashing. Suppose I posted a thread and titled it, "The Catholic's Dilemma". I then began with:

    As a Catholic, boatbums used to believe all of it. Then one day the nagging questions began. She noticed things about Catholic belief and practice that didn't add up. She began following the logic of Catholic claims to places she never expected it to go — leading to conclusions no Christians would ever admit to holding.

    In The Catholic's Dilemma, boatbums examines over thirty of those conclusions, showing with solid evidence, compelling reason, and gentle humor how the major tenets of Catholicism — if honestly pursued to their furthest extent— wind up in dead ends of absurdity.

    The only escape? Evangelical Protestant truth, which boatbums patiently unpacks. In each instance, she shows how Evangelicalism solves the Catholic's dilemma through the witness of Scripture, Christian history, and the authority with which Christ himself undeniably vested his sacred word, the Bible.

    The Catholic's Dilemma is the perfect book to give Catholics trying to work through their own nagging doubts, or for Evangelicals looking for a fresh way to deepen their understanding of the Faith.

Now, would you call a thread like this Catholic-bashing??? Tell the truth.

“Now, would you call a thread like this Catholic-bashing?”

Of course not. Don’t be ridiculous.

“Tell the truth.”

Your implication that I would lie is not Catholic bashing either.

It is insulting to me personally.

Perhaps some of you who are so intolerant and insulting might learn the difference between those two types of statement.

Excellent and I have no doubt you would be shredded for *Catholic bashing*.
