wrote: Claiming something doesn't make it so. The Bible says that by their works you will know them. Hitler's works clearly weren't Christian, therefore he wasn't. I can claim to be the President of the United States, but that doesn't make it so. Matt "Show me a shred of evidence" he says, "that Hitler was a Christian". So I shows him several shreds, I does. "Evidence don't mean anything" he now says. "I believe what I want to believe". An essential trait for the religious, I think. |

I'm no supporter of the Catholic church, so I won't argue with you there.
The Catholic church doesn't follow the Bible in many ways and much of what they believe in and do is simply not supported by scripture and often outright condemned. I know most Catholics would disagree, but I don't consider Catholicism to be Christianity as they tend to elevate Mary to a level equal to or even higher than Christ. Whoo-whee! Man, if only I had the guts to have said something like this to the nuns back at good ol' St. Catherine's High School, in Racine, WI. (Class of '76) Dang, I'd STILL be walking with a limp... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Not this one. In Texas, no less.
"Dena Schlosser, 35, was charged with capital murder Monday after calmly telling a 911 operator that she had cut off the arms of 11-month old Margaret. Police found Schlosser sitting in her living room, covered in blood, a church hymn playing in the background." Now, come on. I think it's safe to say that people of ALL religions and beliefs would classify this lady as mentally ill. Although some might call it "possessed"? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Thanks for all the laughs, especially from a wit -- CFII. And of course I
enjoyed the unintended humor from Matt and Bob. If you want to have some fun read the de-conversion stories at www.positiveatheism.org, which is also a great site for the freethinker. Happy Thanksgiving. I think I'll give thanks to Eros and Bacchus this year. ***************** A man came up to me on the street and said I used to be messed up out of my mind on drugs but now I'm messed up out of my mind on Jeeesus Chriiist.

Claiming to be something and actually being something are two entirely different things. Bob, right you are, but he or she will never understand this. I've given up trying to reason with an anonymous poster who can't even tell the difference between a claim and a fact. Matt |
