There was no chance of "honest reasoned debate" precisely because of the content of the comment I responded to. That's why I responded exactly as I did.

The comment was:

According to Francis, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.
Did you miss that when it was proclaimed?

The other two statements were metaphorical taken from the sentence quoted.

Surely you could find some words to respond to the post.

Or do you wish to hide the facts about Muslims and Catholics worshiping the same "God?"

So it was attributed to Francis, big deal.

I believe he may have commented on it, I don't know.

But here it is from Catholic history;

The Church's relationship with Muslims. The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 841, quoting Lumen Gentium 16, November 21, 1964).

“The comment was:”

Nope.

The comment had THREE SENTENCES. You posted one. Disagree all you want, but be honest. Try.

Bingo.

That's the meat of the issue which was being deceitfully avoided.

Instead, the flaws were said to be in some critic here --- accused of drunkenness.

Different day, same shoot-the-messenger game playing. Right in the middle of that sick game, another one of them has the nerve to lecture about making false accusations.

These people are truly, spiritually ill. A den of vipers. It's like I'm being bitten by serpents each time I encounter their words...
