He fits in every detail the definition of a bigot. 

big·ot·ry
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

He's not in any way a Christian.

Claiming a Christian who loves Jesus Christ and wants to help people attain Eternal Happiness as "not a Christian" seems like a slander and an act of Christophobic bigotry to me. I believe in the Teaching of Jesus Christ and strive to practice it; not perfect by any means, but I try.

What do you believe in, and what do you practice, and what moral standard do you bind and hold yourself to, and for what reasons?

Doubt I'll get answer to any of those questions, lol.

Make a list of things you don't think are christophobic bigotry - might be quicker?

I can't speak for Bucky, but..as I've told you before, I'm a realist. I find that I'm strongly compelled to appeal to objective facts of a matter when making moral statements. This is why it doesn't matter to me what some god says, or even whether a god exists. You'll hear a ton of different moral underpinning from the people on the boards. This is because there are multiple ways to arrive at a private morality or public ethic. Even if a god existed, it would only be one voice in a sea of voices - and we would still have to answer the moral questions ourselves before we could determine whether the god was morally correct - or merely existent and mouthy.

Your example, above. You think it's wrong to do that. Why? Does this apply to jehovahs witnesses? Does it apply to nominal christians? Are there exceptions, where you would concede that a person really does want to bring people to jesus..but for other reasons entirely, are still not christian?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Still waiting for you to explain why you support child rapists. FUCK YOUR GOD for letting people like you exist.

Quote:Lifeway Christian Resources, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is the Christian media publishing and distribution division of the Southern Baptist Convention and provider of church business services. Until the end of their physical retail presence in 2019 it was best known for its brick and mortar LifeWay Christian Stores, one of the two major American retailers of Christian books and products (the other being Mardel Christian & Education). Lifeway produces curriculums and Bible studies used in Sunday schools and other church functions. Lifeway publishes the Christian Standard Bible (the successor to the Holman Christian Standard Bible) as well as Christian books and commentaries through B&H Publishing. Lifeway has a research division that studies Protestant trends and provides contract research services. In addition they distribute many Christian resources created by outside parties. They distribute and sell many church products such as communion supplies, upholstery etc. Lifeway also provides church business services.

You're disrespectful to all beliefs except your own peculiar version of Catholicism. That's bigotry. 
No one here needs any help from a pedantic patronizing bigot, which YOUR church agrees with. 
You do not *even try*. 

"Fr. Guardini is referring here to “an everyday form,” he insists: respect. “Respect is the most elementary thing that must be perceptible if people are to associate with each other as human beings.” "It must be shown irrespective of particular talents or accomplishments, but simply because the other person is a human being."

"How is respect shown? Respect “means that one take another’s convictions seriously. I may fight against it, for if I am of the opinion that what he says in wrong, then I have right and, under certain circumstances, a duty to defend the truth as I see it.” But we must do this with respect, “conscious of the fact that I am dealing not with an abstract sentence in some book, but with a person” who, “if I see that he is mistaken, I may contend with him.” But I may not violate his conscience or wish to trick him by cunning."
https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2015/11...an%20being.

You show no respect to anyone here. You may *say* you believe in Jesus, but as all "whited sepulchers", you're nothing but a fake and a hypocrite. 
I believe in following my conscience, just as YOUR Catechism says I have the right to, and therefore according to YOUR cult, I am saved.
No one here needs your fake disrespectful help with anything. I would say more, but since you (obviously) never studied Ethics, you wouldn't know what I was talking about.

Was your essential disrespect for others the reason you were kicked out of the seminary, and judged inappropriate for ministry ?
I sent a few of your posts to a friend who is a priest and abbot. He just shook his head sadly. No Catholic would endorse your hate-filled methods.
Your a bizarre, mentally ill psycho.

Lol. Here's what a Priest wrote to me about a Theological Article I wrote on Purgatory for an American Traditional Catholic Publication. You asked me a question by PM, and I was going to answer it, but now I think I won't bother, given your hate-filled Bigotry against me. I've proved 10000 people wrong in life with all I've accomplished for the Lord and in my Career, by the Grace of God, and for the Glory of God, I will continue doing so. Here are Rev. Fathers kind words to me:

"Just got an email on it from a Priest, saying,

"Dear Sir:
I have read many articles about Purgatory in my lifetime —- 82 years old and 54 years as a priest.
I just read yours on the ... webpage.
Yours is the best I have ever read.
Thank you.
Please keep up your good work."

Why does your god treat innocent dead babies like second class souls Xavier 

Were you molested by a priest and you liked it?

Is that why you support pedophilia?


Or are you a pedophile priest?
