I'm not sure the two you quoted in the above post were doing any 'condemning'. I see them relating personal experiences - something which you do quite a bit of yourself. As far as the 'all Christians' part; it is possible that you're detecting the overall disdain most rational thinkers have for any group that accumulates its beliefs from fairy tales - 'all Christians' would definitely fit into that same category. Otherwise, there are many brands of Christianity, all disagreeing with one another. The Lord is wanting to find unity upon his returning, and not this divisive, finger-pointing, 'my church is the real church' stuff. How will you reconcile this?

First of all I was asking all non believers to not compare the Catholic Church with the protestant church, I wasn't referring to anyone in particular.

Yet you quoted two members in your post - that is what I was addressing (in context)
GC Wrote:Second just because you decided the scriptures are a fairy tale does not make it so.
Fair enough - but science and reason are on my side.
GC Wrote:Third when Christ comes to gather up His church He will not care who belongs to what denomination, He will come and claim those who are saved through grace and make us His bride.
Like I said, Fairy Tale.
