Most of us haven't read an Ayn Rand book since we were in our teens

I never read and after (unsuccessfully) attempting to sit through the movie, Atlas Shrugged, I never will. I don't like being preached at.

Looks like a number of us got mistaken for David Harsanyi here. The article is indeed “sectarian” in nature. The way it reads, though, I’d think it to be liberal in nature.

This thread has nothing to do with Protestants.

And it has everything to do with imposing the Pope on all conservatives. To Protestants, Catholicism is a very different religion, and the Pope is just another human being.

Hence, not only is the title of this article very disconcerting to Protestants, it is clearly not one of the daily Catholic posts that all Protestants already know to steer clear of.

so-called “Protestants” swarm to the attack and exhibit all these ugly traits.

I can already see the veiled attack and ugliness in your very own statement.

Right. They post these articles about protestants are wrong and are all going to hell or purgatory or a weight station or a giant Wal-Mart parking lot and when they get criticized in return its an attack.

Especially by an atheist.

What a humorous way to put together the things that are oh so typical of Catholicism! Good I did not waste my time actually reading the article.

Mostly by Episcopalians and Deists. No Baptists.

You think that much of the American population at the time were Deists, and that none of them were Baptists?

And if you read the article, its about framing a message which is still conservative yet one where it breaks down knee jerk reactions to the core doctrine.

Can you name one article in the past month that condemns, as you say, protestants?

I don’t think the the moderator cares about your ridiculous complaint, but since you guys keep pinging me for no reason, I’m starting to think I have picked up a couple of stalkers.

You can’t rewrite American history, nor squelch the facts of it among conservatives.

From the tone of your posting, American history seems to annoy you, it seems to be something that you want to overcome, to defeat.

GeronL, A troll seems to have hit the thread, I guess he is going to force this into another of his religious wars.

Nah, it’s just that the false statements in your posts are too glaringly obvious to see. Go back to the dem underground and stay there.

Answel12: Are you drunk, or just had an argument with your wife?

Ansel again: American history seems to annoy you

Mixing up American history with ansel family stories?
