515: Papist fantasy and misrepresentation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Papist is a (usually disparaging) term or an anti-Catholic slur, referring to the Roman Catholic Church, its teachings, practices, or adherents.” A childish insult.

561: “They’ve educated themselves into spiritual imbecility and blindness.”

Needlessly insulting; serves only to provoke.

519: “The tactic that I see at work here is that the FRoman Catholics are taking a beating and are now pushing the RF guidelines, hoping to get the thread locked…”

Mind-reading.

521: “I haven’t encountered a Catholic with enough honesty and integrity to ever TRY to understand…”

A childish insult, and probably mind-reading, in that the writer assumes that Catholics disagree because they lack honesty and integrity.

All-in-all, troublemaking.

Christ did not die on the Cross so 21st cent. Christians could whine about how they are treated on the internet.

The debate on "open" Religion Forum threads is often contentious because it is the only place Freepers can argue against beliefs.

Some offensive terms occur not only in the present day debate but in the official and historical documents, e.g. anathema, heretic, cult, apostasy, snake handler, Papist.

If contentious debate and terms like that offend you, then you should IGNORE "open" Religion Forum threads altogether and instead read and post the RF threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "prayer" or "devotional."

re papist

414 prots, a disparaging term for Protestants

re A childish insult.

414 I wouldn't want to give you the chance to whine about cross posting.

re Needlessly insulting; serves only to provoke.

See above and 439

And 414 again—I realize that prots have low IQ’s and difficulty with following threads.

323 prots continue to bear false witness.

319 Post 164

288 to see if ex-Catholics /anti-Catholics have integrity or are capable of telling the truth.

The answer is a resounding NO!

164, referenced more than once :Illiterates, idiots and liars

And posted more than once also and "Needlessly insulting; serves only to provoke."

And finally 556 I can handle far more than those lackwits can hand out

Needlessly insulting; serves only to provoke and a childish insult

Then it is the mods fault because the moderating is unfair.

Be sure to turn in posts you think are breaking the rules, and from both sides would be nice... I noticed you only pointed out posts from Protestant type posters. Hope the ones I found helped you to feel not so put upon.

It's been my experience that all belief systems are put through the gauntlet here on open threads.

Poor parsing on your part.

"Haven't encountered" is NOT the same as claiming ALL catholics do such and such.
