    Mary saves us from hell?

    Borealis said: "The problem is that this site is being used as 'proof' that we actually worship Mary and such. Other than the obvious 'we don't,' how do we counter this?" Why do we have to prove anything to anyone. I'm so tired of Catholics in America having to be on the defensive. We don't...

    Your Worst Anti-Catholic Experience

    In America it seems that Protestantism, especially Baptism and other Southern fundamentalist sects, have taken a strong stance against the Church. They see it as the W***e of Babylon and so on and so forth. I find this to be very sad, seeing such hatred from fellow Christians. I pray for their...

    Anti-Catholicism in America

    With the passing of our Pope John Paul II, god bless him, the Church has recieved a lot of media attention. I live with a Lutheran roomate who, upon seeing the coverage on TV, began spewing anti Catholic remarks and stating that the Pope and Church is evil. We have been in many arguments over...

    AMERICAN GLOBAL AWARENESS, ANYONE?

    You think those other countries are worthless? Werent you just defending them. And yes I do read Anne Coulter. :) So what? I understand where your coming from, but unfortunately Democratic leaders and their followers, which no offense but you sound like one, generally focus on foreign aid...

    Your Teenage Daughter is Pregnant...Now What?

    Accept the fact that she made a mistake and help her through this. Give her the offer to help raise the child. It makes me sick that some girls are thrown out of their house for this. People make mistakes, especially teenagers.

    AMERICAN GLOBAL AWARENESS, ANYONE?

    What I mean by wasteful is that after you have already sent out hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to others, maybe you should keep a little for the kids without shoes in Louisiana, or for the people with no food in the ghettos of Chicago. Our own people need help as well. That is something...

    AMERICAN GLOBAL AWARENESS, ANYONE?

    One more thing. Did you even look at the other graphs? They show how the US gives a ridiculously higher amount of money to causes then other countries. Your own "evidence" throws you down.

    AMERICAN GLOBAL AWARENESS, ANYONE?

    ARe you crazy? THis is based on the % of GNP! Do you know how much higher our GNP is then places like Italy and #1 Norway! If we were to send the same percentage as them it would be an absolutely astronomical number and most likely wasteful. We send more money then any other country, just...

    Is the death penalty moral?

    I do believe that the Death Penalty is wron. What makes the state a legitamate judge of you should die? If we have someone already confined in prison what threat are they? They are being punished. I believe that killing is only acceptable in two situations: 1. Your life is in immediate danger...

    Abortion

    Im not trying to be harshe, seriously. It's just how I feel. I don't believe we should kill Doctors or anything. That simply makes you a murderer if you kill a doctor, know what I mean?

    Why Do Christians Have Santa???

    Santa has become a way to make sure that all the companies of America turn a profit at Christmas time. He takes away from the focus of the holiday, Jesus, and in my opinion is a horrible thing to let children into. Most kids simply focus on the fact that they are getting gifts from some...

    AMERICAN GLOBAL AWARENESS, ANYONE?

    Carter is an idiot who apparently doesn't even respect his own people. Most Americans I know are pretty well read people with knowledge of the outside world. Especially after 9/11 most Americans have opened their eyes and started to protest for action in such places as Ghana and Palestine. The...

    Bible Errancy

    I believe that much of the Old testament was meant to be symbollic. Adam and Eve is an example of this. It is a story to explain that all people are naturally sinners and also about the general nature of man. The New Testament, however, I believe to be literal. Everything except for...

    Why do Muslims call to Islam? And why others must listen to them?

    If they were to spread it in a "kindly" manner, maybe more would listen. Unfortunately though we can see, from the state of the Middle East, that they spread it in a much different way. As for me, I know who the last true prophet was(Jesus) and that is who I worship.
