Ask a Catholic

[Iroscato]

I know I asked this before, but you seem to have missed it: define truth.

How would you know that a particular set of beliefs is true... or rather, because that makes no sense at all, how would you know that what a particular religion claims is the truth?

By the grace of God.

Make your point, poca. There are lots of posts I need to respond to...

2200 years ago or so, the religion of Rome would've been accepted as 'true' by the vast majority of people. Main reason being, it was the dominant power in the world at the time, and could damn well back up those beliefs with a few legions of soldiers to come and smash your windows in and do unspeakable things to your bottom.
Guess what? Despite its immense military power and wealth, Rome fell. As did the religion of the Aztec Empire, as did the religion of Egypt, as did the religion of ancient Greece and so on ad infinitum.
So will the Catholic faith fall, the last remnants of Constantinople, lost to the relentless juggernaut that is time. Inevitably it will be replaced by another form of lunacy, only with a fair fewer people believing in it, if the general decline of religion is to be factored in.

The existence of the graveyard of the gods does not prove that Christianity will one day rest there.

Just because some conceptions of God are fictional, how does that prove that all conceptions of God are fiction?

It does not prove anything, but surely even you won't deny it sets one hell of a precedent to go by. Just because you were born in this little slice of time, you think your particular brand of bullshit carries any more weight than the literally tens of thousands that have come before it? Come on.
I'm sorry that you cannot accept that in the grand scheme of things, your faith really is Nothing Special, but reality has this funny habit of being just so whether you hide from it or not
