It just shows how narrow-minded fundamentalists are--their own, and their two biggest hates. Don't forget, a Catholic in the South was as likely, or maybe even more likely, than a Jew to have a cross burned on his lawn by the KKK.

And how do I check your history? I didn't even know I could do that. Are you calling me a narrow-minded fundamentalist? My response was not meant as a jab, but I thought if you felt those others were more interesting, you could post a question listing those. Also, what does the latter of your comment have to do with what I said?
Thanks for the info. I did look on your profile, but didn't see a question listing those other belief systems. Maybe it isn't on the site any longer. I was interested to see how many people voted and if there were any comments. Since you have been so helpful, how do people get questions or comments removed? Is there an "overseer" or something?
Perhaps I did it in discussion rather than as a question. I have been a member for well over a year, and I talk a lot. AS far as I know, there is no way to delete except by the member. Even 'removed by community' still stays on the profile, accessible to the member.
Evangelical Christians tend to consider Roman Catholics as close to Satanists. And I say that as someone who was raised a Roman Catholic in a prominently Evangelical Christian area.
I am a Roman Catholic and have always been. Right now I am having problems with being Catholic. I don't like my parish priest. But I don't want to change. I don't know what to do at this time. I can't undo everything I have learned my whole life. I imagine all religions have problems within unless you are brainwashed. I am not.
Lin, I was the same way,, until I realized I was a false convert to Christ. I didn't have a conversion story, so I finally realized I didn't have a conversion. think of it this way, If you go out to the road, and wait for a truck to hit you, you get hit, and it changes you, you have an experience, well, if you are changed by God, how much more should we be changed, and that for the good. I realized that i didn't care what people thought about me, what matters is, is what I believe to be true, really true.
Lin- I have always been mainline protestant and grew up a Methodist preacher's son. The Methodists have a similar system of moving their pastors around. I learned early on that different churches within the denomination have very different personalities. The clergy were supposed to be moved to take advantage of their expanding abilities and most of the time that's what happened. But many times a congregation needed someone to solve a particular problem and a well loved minister was transferred over to solve that problem. His replacement was almost never as well liked. If your new parish priest is worth his salt, you might discuss it directly with him. If he is not approachable, you may want to speak with a lay leader in your parish. If you have concerns, they need to know. Plus, you don't seem like the shy type B^)

No, you are a fundamentalist Christian.
Are you sure you know the difference?
And limited in your survey of world relgions. Try some interesting ones for pity's sake. Jainist. Shinto. BaHa'i. Gnostics. Copts.
You could post a question with those choices.
I have. Check my history.

No, I am referring to the questioner.
You can find the history of any member by going to their profile and reading their questions and posts.

Thank you so much for the info. I now understand that I have some control over the harassing replies I get from some of my own comments.
Yes, his name was jonmarc, he is no longer with us, but luckily his aliases are still with us to this day.

How about at least an "other" choice for the rest of the world's religions?
How about a non-extreme christian. Plus lumping agnostic and atheist in together is a little limited.
