Hey, I asked somebody to post some information in the Christianity section about their views of the Catholic Church. Here is a quick view of what this person believes:

1) why does the people of Catholism bow to a man and treat as Christ if he is not...

2) why does the catholic faith not believe in over 85% of the new testament

3) why does the catholic faith esteem Mary in such High regards and call her "The mother of Heaven" when in fact she herself had to be saved by Jesus...she was just a vessel and someone that happened to be living right and thats why she was choosen... IDOLATRY

4) why does the catholic faith deem it necessary to pray to Dead saints, when the bible CLEARLY states that it is also IDOLATRY

I'm VERY interested in what you would tell him . . .

Hey, Thomas, I posted a question for you here:

http://www.interfaith.org/forum/the-...ity-13981.html

You're skillful at debating, and so, for me, trying to prove an alternative point to you is like playing that person that's damn good at a video game (like soul caliber or some other fighting game) and who, more often than not, beats me. In the process, however, I get better at the game. I think the forum would not be the same without you, because I feel like I need that skillful element. That is, again, someone skillful at debate and knowledgeable about Christian tradition.

Also, I think the personal attacks on you that I have seen are uncalled for. Just present the evidence and move on.

Hey Ahanu —

Can I ask a favour?
Can I ask for feedback on how I come across on the forum?
Since I've been looking at neuroscience and phenomenology, my views are changing, from where I stand, quite radically. I doubt if that comes across on the forums.

I'm also aware that, in the eyes of our Theosophist friends, I'm an ignorant ultra-right wing fascist ******* catholic ... that doesn't worry me, I know where that comes from in the Theosophist agenda ... but I wonder how many others see me the same way?

Don't need an instant response, but someone who now and then checks me with a 'that's a bit harsh' or 'you sound like a lunatic' would give me a view of myself ... I'm going to ask a couple of others too (Snoopy, Seattlegal, Wil?), but would welcome your input.

You seem a balance, mature sort of type. Doing exams? I thought you much older than that ... you're wise beyond your years, chum, obviously ...

Anyway ... if you don't fancy, that's no problem ...

God bless,

Thomas

Hey, Thomas, I just wanted to drop by and say, "thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts in the why do people try to change christianity? thread." It helps me to think critically about what I'm reading. That's why I'm glad you're here on the interfaith forums! I'm taking the time to read more on the Church fathers and on phenomenology, but I'm trying to finish my exams for college this closing semester too, so it'll probably be a good minute before responding to your quote and some other points you mentioned.

Hi,
Are you a pastor?
