I was banned from two Catholic forums when I tried to find some common ground between my agnostic views and theirs. Why did I try? I spend half my life in the Philippines, a deeply Catholic country and am married to a Filipina, who was also a Catholic, but has now seen the error of her ways! I care about the people there who are very badly served by their Church.
My proposition to them was that if we can respect their total opposition to abortion, will they also respect that others don't share their viewpoint and then see how we can work together to try to reduce the need for them in the first place. I got nothing but abuse in return.
They have no ability to even see another viewpoint, let alone understand or respect it. They are right. They know the "Truth" (note the capital T). Everyone else is wrong. These people are literally unbelieveable and the sooner they fade away into the oblivion that evolution has them destined for, the better.
