Zone1 Why do you need gods?

[Cardinal Carminative]

I've been called worse by bigger hypocrites than you.

Again, you shouldn't worry about what I think. You have a bigger guy to explain yourself to.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Let's see....Your version of God is genocidal maniac. Your version of me is that everyone gets salvation. While both are wrong, at least I get off better than God.

Then if there are some who FAIL to get salvation that indicates that even in YOUR version of Catholicism there are rules specific to God to be granted salvation.

Ergo my original point still stands.

I think I know a goodly amount about Christianity and Catholicism. I think I've more than amply shown my bona fides.

Apart from lifting entire chapters in a cut-n-paste, let me know when you are up to the task of talking about this topic.

I think you think you know more about other people's religion than they do. Have you even read the Catechism of the Catholic Church?

That's good because I don't. Like I said, I'm spotlighting your hypocrisy in making personal attacks. I'm using your weight against you. Judo flip!

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

The Bible sets forth many descriptions and perceptions of God, meaning people then--and now--see the same thing in a variety of ways.

Indeed. Which one is correct? Guess you have to pick a side and hope that you got the right one on Judgement Day.

The Biblical description that made the greatest imprint/impact on me is God being described as a tiny whispering sound.

And the biblical description of God as a jealous god who delivers cities over to be killed by the edge of a sword, that is best left in the dust.

And since I'm in little need of a tiny whispering sound I am more than happy to toss out the whole thing.

Like I said earlier: you and I only differ by degree.

You don't have perfect information. God does.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

I think you think you know more about other people's religion than they do.

I know quite a bit about theology.

Have you even read the Catechism of the Catholic Church?

Dude, I'm married to a Cradle Catholic. For almost 30 years.

What do you think?

Why are you are assuming that's a requirement?

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

You don't have perfect information. God does.

You don't have perfect information. Either.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Why are you are assuming that's a requirement?

Do you believe that all people (even atheists and non-Christians) will get salvation even if they don't change their paths?

Dunning effect.

Dude, I'm married to a Cradle Catholic. For almost 30 years.

What do you think?

I feel bad for her is what I think.

 

[ding]

You don't have perfect information. Either.

Correct. Which is why I don't speak for what God will do.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Says the guy who constantly bears false witness against others.

Judo double flip.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

Correct. Which is why I don't speak for what God will do.

And you don't really act like it either.

 

[ding]

Do you believe that all people (even atheists and non-Christians) will get salvation even if they don't change their paths?

I have no idea who will or will not get "salvation" (whatever that means). That is Catholic theology.

Incorrect. Reverse switch!

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

We are? I thought we were talking about different perspectives and perceptions of a Bible story.

God is fundamental truth per you folks in the church.

Sorry if you missed that bit.

 

[ding]

And you don't really act like it either.

Exactly. I'm not a church lady like you.

 

[ding]

God is fundamental truth per you folks in the church.

Sorry if you missed that bit.

Are you really sorry? Or are you serving your ego? My money is on you serving your ego.

 

[Cardinal Carminative]

I have no idea who will or will not get "salvation" (whatever that means). That is Catholic theology.

But you assume that everyone will, though, right? Because otherwise there are RULES.
