Ask a Catholic

[SGOS]

I've got a question!

How do catholics decide what is divinely inspired and what is not? why have no new "scrolls" that have been discovered added to the bible? Who decided they weren't inspired by the holy spirit?

Actually, the Vatican has a miracle squad assigned to track down reported miracles and investigate them for authenticity.  It's like sending out the Tea Party to find reasons that support not paying taxes.  They have an agenda.  They find what they want.  It's all part of the mystery, and helped along by the vagueness of supernatural accountability.

Mother Teresa and Jesus, one completely made up the other completely fabricated.

yes I have done volunteer work in the ghetto of Buffalo New York St Luke's mission of mercy.  I'll answer everyone else's questions when I have time I have to go run some errands.

How many people did you pick up off the ground and carry to a hospital?

I find it funny that this thread's topic is "Ask a Catholic," yet we're the ones who seem to be schooling CC.

glad you all are having a super time.  please go register for a Catholic forum and try to hold down a debate when you're outnumbered 100  to 1.  I'm just a human being who is not all knowing and don't have any superpowers..

Atheists are usually banned from Christian websites (or so restricted it's like they're banned) within the first hour (or less) of being there.

Also, if it's a dominated sect that is at the website (or owns it) even certain Christians are restricted to their areas (their sect), or also banned within an hour of joining.

I've been banned, in such cases, from many Christian websites for just being an atheist, or been so restricted that it didn't matter if I went there.

At least websites like this only restrict trolls.

Of course. You are very ignorant of your catholic religion. The "teacher " got schooled. Very funny.

Look CC, if you are a man or woman who goes about doing good things for people, shows respect to others, and in general leaves others to there own beliefs, then I have nothing at all against you and what you do. I hold respect for people who would give up their time to help in charity or help in shelters or just doing good for his fellow man, and if that is done by belief in God then I have no issue with that.

It's just when a religious guy comes about preaching his faith in places where he should keep it to himself it creates a problem. I would not walk into a church and yell out 'gods not real, the Vatican takes all your money for themselves' because I'd consider that rude even as an atheist.

Rude....but true.

Boy, I love this shit. some theist comes on our forum to espouse his/her bullshit, then gets all butthurt because we are rude, runs out several pages of weak defense of their bullshit religion, then whines about being outnumbered, boo hoo, rude people, boo hoo.

You came here on your own volition. You can leave any time you want. If you choose to stay, stfu and stop the whine sessions.

Irl you would have been tossed out the door long ago. What crap.

I know, but my take is a person is entitled to believe whatever they want in their own home, and for a religious person that counts in churches too. outside of their homes and churches its a different story.

I don't think he's been overly aggressive with what he preaches, its more just out of place given the sites community and where they stand on what he believes.

As i say, if I went on a catholic blog and started saying theres no such thing as god and its all fairy tales, I'd be considered a troll and kicked off the site or at least cornered on it with people asking me to believe, and I'd expect such a thing because it is there site for their community. It be like a homophobic straight guy coming on a gay site to slam his anti gay views, its just not compatible.

I think though sometimes having theists and atheists sitting down and figuring each other out isn't a bad thing, not because it should impart stuff onto one another, but just to kind of get a perspective on why each other believes what they believe. Everyone is flawed in some way or another, and it all comes down to the person more then what they believe.

It makes for interesting conversions sometimes too.

Edit: And sorry for the double post.
