Actually you did do that. You stated it in slightly different terms but you certainly made your position clear. Here is the quote.

Frankly I have been offended by your statements regarding Catholicism. It's not your place to make such statements regarding the validity of any faith much less another Christian faith. After seeing the second quote I disregarded anything to do with this thread until I saw some folks I do respect posting on it. After I read your opening on it I was really having second thoughts about entering it at all and was tempted to just place you on ignore.

IMO any person who's faith allows them to ACT in a Christ like manner is one that benefits them. It is not my place to determine or state that it is valid or not. That issue is between that person and God. It's certainly not my position to belittle another persons faith. Please note that I am not criticizing you for how you believe in God but your actions regarding it in this bbs. How you believe is not my place to judge. Neither is it your place to judge others.

I did not say that the Catholic faith was invalid. Not all Christians are Catholics. In name only was I seperating two different sects  of Christianity. I believe that Catholics are Christians.

The only things I do not believe in are some of the rites and traditions of the Catholic church. I beleive that some of the rites are a distraction from the word of God and wanted to hear what people felt about those things.

And who are you to tell me it's not my place to talk about those things?

How do you feel about Toad bashing my beliefs? Or, was it just me that was out of line and shouldn't be talking about others religions?

Please show me where I said it wasn't your place to "talk" about those things. I said it wasn't your place to judge them did I not?

Your earlier statement that said "They were catholics, not Christians. " is rather judgemental don't you think?

I was seperating two sects by name. If you call someone a Christian, that doesn't mean that they are Catholic.

Maverik, I have not judged anyone's faith, but my faith has been belittled by Toad. Why don't you tell Toad that it's not his place?

I asked questions regarding rites of the Catholic faith. People answered them, and I stopped asking. I apolgized if I came across poorly.

Toad has attacked ME and my beliefs. Most of this thread consists of Toad belittling my beliefs, and myself stateing over and over my beliefs.

I've made my point to you twice now and quoted your own words, yet all you do is argue something I have neither raised nor stated.

Of course there were "particulars of faith" in this discussion. I certainly did provide other views and so did many others in this thread. I admittedly did not provide the information as sweetly as some but that's because I feel Nuke never really wanted information.

I've been as impolite towards Nuke as I've ever been on this BBS, in any thread.

I've tried to feel sorry for that, but when I review his posting history here I less sorry than "it's about time".

I do apologize to the rest of you that couldn't drag yourselves away from reading it, however.

Which is his modus operandi in every thread, Mav.

It's what he did from the beginning in this thread.

I just finally got tired of it. For that I apologize... to the rest of yas.

And I asked, who are you to tell me it's not my place?

You quoted me, and I answered. I did not bring up a different issue than what you had raised. You basically said that I was judging another's faith, which I have not done.

If you are saying that by me saying "They were Catholics, not Christian? is judging someone's faith, then I dissagree. I later clarified what I meant after I made that statement.

I beleive that Catholics are Christians.

There is one person in this thread who has questioned the validity of another's faith, and that would be Toad.

From the beginning, I have been honest with all the answers I have given when asked about anything. I have been civil and have not disrespected anyone's views.

Toad has called me names, riddiculed my beliefs, said that I had a childish understanding of the bible, and has been very condscending. He told me that I have been self-interpreting the bible, just because I don't believe what he does.

I find it laughable that someone would come in here and accuse ME of questioning the validity of another's faith.

Toad must be invisible.

No question, just a statement disrespecting the belief of more than a billion people worldwide.

nuke, last post on this thread. From the Christian faith IIRC, judge not lest ye be judged. That is why I said it isn't your place to judge, that is God's positioon to do so.

I am through here. I already told you my objections I won't repeat them again where you ignore them.

I believe that was from another, earlier thread.  And I clarified my views since then.

I believe that Cathoilics are Christians. I appoligize to anyone if I offended their religious beliefs.

Eegads!  Toad has used the Round Shield of Rationality to deflect Agendaman's mighty Rhetoric and has pierced him repeatedly with the Longspear of Logic.

But what's this!  Agendaman's stupendous powers of Ignorance is preventing him from realising he has been soundly beaten and he fights on...
