Or better yet, donate to a charity explicitly founded to tackle some specific problem.  Your money will more likely be used to actually help people and less likely to used on non-charity church expenses.  *coughs*

Yeah, that's a toughie.  Tell ya what, I'll give you three guesses and let you know if you're hot or cold.

I was catholic by virtue of the water sprinkle ritual performed on me as a non-consenting infant in 1955.  As I became self aware, I started having doubts.  By the time I was 17, I was sure it was BS.

Go ahead. . . ask THIS catholic.
Cool story bro. My case is exactly like yours with the difference that I was born in 1979. I woke up from this bullshit at age 16. I will never forget this.

My question is? Knowing the age of our species, and knowing that Catholics were not the first religion on the face of the planet, and knowing that polytheism existed long before even the Hebrews, why do you think you got the right book and the right church?

You do understand that all religious people worldwide think they got it right too.

I think he already answered that one. I believe it comes down to 'popes'. But why that proves anything outside of circular reasoning, I don't know.

CC, you can't claim to be apart from a system of belief and yet still follow what it preaches. Thats like a muslim coming to the uk saying he'll respect the customs of the country, yet carries on subjugating women as slaves.
that depends. you know I could be wrong about those these things and the church could be right.  I could disagree with my mother or my father, but that doesn't mean I have to run away from them.

Specifically what I asked, What do you have to say against the explanation provided by Catharism for why god's orders in the OT were so contrary to this greatest commandment?
that is one of my biggest questions for any theologian our apologist.  I simply do not understand it nor do I have the answer for you right now but I may get back to you on it.

Make sure the answers you consider include, "Because it's made up." Not considering that answer is the main reason we don't take apologetics seriously.
Speak when you have something to say, not when you have to say something.
