You don't seem to waste much time on certain kinds of people.
I'd say you did the church a favor.

yeh, we Christians are a forgiving sort. Besides, at least Trump didn't do his bad deeds WHILE in the WH.
The people who pray for him daily are satisfied.

yeh, I adopted this little "rule" a long time ago: If a person just wants to hate someone I like (Trump) and it doesn't matter what good he did or plans to do, forget about that person. Trump is a hard worker, doesn't sleep much, and did things for this country that previous presidents should have done but didn't (they put up with China's BS and etc.. etc...). People who can't or won't see the good in someone like that are....
I just don't let time-wasters waste my time.

words fail.
Can you provide me with a list of possible words here? LOL
I didn't really want her to say anything. Now, here's the thing, for those who came in late. My late mother was the art teacher at my Catholic School, which meant she worked with this frustrated lesbian in a habit every day. So it wasn't like she wandered into a random funeral and said stupid shit...I don't have a problem w/ what the nun said. What did you want her to say: One last human to over-populate the earth?
a liberal may not say that but would think it, I'm guessing.
So how was it miserable being Catholic, other than that? Maybe you could chalk it up to being over-run with humans, but Jesus was there just the same?

can you give an example?.
Haters.
Do it elsewhere is all I've got to say to them.
I can't help it that their sorry "parents" turned them ugly.
I did notice that a few of their posts got blasted out of there because of -- you know -- rules! LOL!

well, I have heard of Catholic schools and a lot of people who went to them turned out to be rather anti-Catholic so I can't get on your case, as I never attended one. I had the chance of doing that but my parents let ME decide and I wanted to stay in the public school (didn't know anything back then...!) because my siblings were there and I didn't want to go to Catholic school alone. So much for letting your kids make decisions they don't have a clue about.. But anyhow, maybe, just maybe I wouldn't be so gung ho for the CC if I had gone to one of those Catholic schools? Well, again, one good thing about making mistakes (some similar to what Trump is always accused of) is that you can't judge others for doing the same thing.I didn't really want her to say anything.

It was a really stupid thing to say, though.
I really don't care what people think. When they say stuff that's inappropriate at an inappropriate time, I have an issue.
The psychological torture, the stupid beliefs, the constant guilt-tripping.
It isn't hard when you want to unify your family in one church. I am not and have never been Roman Catholic but many in my family and among my friends are. They all just sort of shrug off what doesn't make sense to them and embrace the best the church has to offer and that's quite a bit. I always feel like I've been to church when I go with them.It is easy to agree with what Peterson says and also see that the R.C.C. is for weak minds and weak faith.
It is difficult to see why anyone already a Christian would ever modify his faith and adapt Papism.
I was raised in Metaphysics.what were you raised as?
Anyway, do you have a little story from your past that would support that accusation of "guilt tripping"?

so who knows, maybe if I had gone to Catholic schools, I would have turned into a ..intolerant of everyone else's faults and weaknesses? God knows. I'd like to think I wouldn't have, but who knows.
OK, maybe you could elaborate some?I was raised in Metaphysics.
Wow, that's bad. It's no wonder you have the attitude you do. I have also seen how the Church (these days) is all about money. I have been in need before and was not helped but then I checked out Catholic Charities and they are helping people from other countries, many of whom are likely not legally here. So much for caring for your own.I've had to deal with a couple of USMB posters doxing me, so I'm not that keen to share personal stories. But overall, what I remember was that they taught that if you THOUGHT about committing a sin, that was the same as committing the sin. No wonder so many Catholics are guilt ridden.
I will say I got a better quality education than I would have gotten at a public school. It wasn't worth the misery they inflicted on me, though.
Well, I think what I developed an intolerance for was hypocrisy. The Church is about money.
Now, when my brother-in-law passed away 15 years ago, the Priest who showed up did the bare minimum. Forget this guy led a pretty decent life, educated his kids with the church, and even worked for the parish as a handyman after he retired from his job with the union.
MEANWHILE, my creep uncle who dumped my aunt for a trophy wife, not only got a first-class service because he donated to the Church, but the Trophy Wife even got a shout-out.
.can you give an example?
what do you mean by "blasted out of there"
I didn't know there was any rule against being mean. If there were, there'd be like 5 people here LOL
I don't think it hurt us more than China. I'd have to have details but China is definitely not our friend.I guess I can't see much "good" in Trump seeing what an execrable human being he is.
He Cheated on all three of his wives.
He cheated numerous business associates.
He's run a political movement largely based on hating "the other" (Muslims, Hispanics, China, for some reason.)
I'm wondering what BS of China he didn't put up with? I mean, he started a largely unnecessary trade war with China that hurt us more than the Chinese. So there's that.
thanks for that, but some posters don't seem to know about any rules!.
"Blasted out" means the posts got disappeared. Yes, being personally insulting is a no-no in Zone 1.
Thank goodness that meanness is perfectly permitted in many other places here.
That dark colored strip across the top of every page has a button on the far left that says "Forums", and you'll find all the Terms of Service and rules in there somewhere.
I got slapped out of the joint several times before I took time to read the rules. I find that they are a bit more complicated here than they've been in many other boards I've used, but that is what makes for the looseness that's allowed in what's called The Basement.
The very bottom of the "Forums" page is what's called The Taunting Arena, or "The Basement", which is where you can get away with almost everything, except threats of personal harm against a poster and I think being nasty to a poster's family members is bad taste all across the board.

i dislike christians because i dont like the catholic religion?...lol....ok if you say so...lol...well, you dislike Christians or those who support them, apparently (though I can't say I have read a lot of your posts, just a few). Trump supports Christianity, as well he should since most people in the US believe in God and many go to one Christian church or another or at least continue to believe after ceasing w/ the church attendance.
i did myself a favor....
I'd say you did the church a favor.

I didn't say thati dislike christians because i dont like the catholic religion?...lol....ok if you say so...lol...
