I think the reasoning was that since all people will die eventually and since God allows this to happen, and since I believe in God, I therefore should not have anything against people talking about wanting whole categories of innocent people to get killed.
Oh, and "innocent" was another issue for them as well. Since Catholics believe that no one is completely perfect, and that we all do things wrong sometimes, this supposedly means that we don't think there is such a thing as "innocent people who shouldn't get killed."
Alrighty then...so basically you were talking to someone who had nothing better to do then spout a bunch of bullshit that makes no sense as an excuse to attack you? Ok I think I get it now.

Basically.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Didn't specify. The person just said he wishes guns didn't have a safety feature so that people who had them would accidentally shoot and kill themselves. I said something along the lines of this being a horrible thing to say, and got accused of being Catholic lol.
You got accused of worshipping a god who invented death; at least that's what I pointed out.
If it helps, I'm no longer curious why you believe as you do.

Be wary of taking only one side of the story. You're better off rereading the exchange, if you want to know what happened. She's certainly misrepresenting my point.
Nor did I attack her.

My apologies thump  I was too lazy to actually read back through. I'm sorry. I'll just step out of this thread.

It certainly wasn't clear, and I didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea.

We're number #1 in guns. Some people think that's great.
