That there were slaves in Egypt at the time living as Egyptians and worshipping Egyptian gods is quite likely.... ...but archeological evidence that millions of these Hebrew slaves then encamped in the desert for 40 years, without leaving a trace?

http://www.theaugeanstables.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coyoteugly-blog.jpg Not to argue against Catholics doctrine or anything, but on the subject of Christian violence, one of my pet peeves is all these auto-de-fés the Christians keep lighting the neighborhood up with. I mean, I know it...

It would seem to me that there are some sins in which all Catholics feel that it is righteous to speak out against and call evil-such as hypocrisy and priests abusing teen-aged altar boys. But then there are sins that have become more or less accepted by society which are considered by some to...

You're not sure either, eh?

Why? Would such a system encourage you to participate more here?

Just as a further comment, once the activists won the political battle, it is interesting to note how little so many of them continued to contribute to the activity of the forum. Is it possible that the goal of the activists was not to create a forum where all are included, where they too felt...

Black day in July changed eveything. Those site supporters betrayed on that day left and they just aren't coming back. Now there is just not the resources any more to protect the Magesterial fidelity that there once was. Whatever the overall philosophy of this site is, that is the practical...

Positive thinking in religious practice is often best expressed through psalms of gratitude. It is an attitude of thankfulness for the gift of life. The prophets all had their visions too, and as for the subconscious mind, they understood that there was much in their conscious thought that was...

If they taught you how to duck with that method, it will serve you well here. Just yanking your chain. :wave:

YouTube - You Left Me (just when I needed you most) by Tim McGraw

I would think limiting what is debatable to anything outside of Magisterial fidelity would be a rather simple task for educated Catholics, for as you say, it is a rather small creed, and the hot button issues are the best defined by the Magesterium. There is a great diversity of Catholic...

Yes he did. At the same time, it must be noted that friendly conversation in no way changed Vatican policy of not recommending Küng's theology as valid Catholic theology. This is not say that Küng's writings on theology are not valuable contributions to Catholicism and Christianity in general...

If only people were to refrain from flaming their fellow Catholics with labels of self-righteous, judgmental fanatics for just a moment, and deal with the question as raised by the article. Is it compassionate to leave the concept of sin out of the Christian gospel as if it was not integral to...

Even then, better a man have a stone tied to his neck and tossed into the sea than to lead one of God's little ones astray, according to Jesus. It sounds as if Christians must be doubly aware of the consequences of teaching half truths as if they were all that there is to know. Do you disagree...

That is just what I am doing Jim, responding to what you have written, and noting what is ignored. Is that someting you would expect from agnostics? It is a good question to pose to Catholics though. Not if, but how to best effect?

You are in fact then an exception to the rule that feels good about rule-breakers being punished. You are morally superior to the everyman.

Up until now, where have you given the impression that you didn't think otherwise? The more you have made this into a satementagainst the self-righteous, the more that people will assume that your standards must differ from those who speak up against the sins that you apparently hate too, but...

Are you saying then, that the vast majority of topics that may be discussed are not allowed to be discussed here, whether or not language is charitable, respectful and polite? Is that what you are saying? Do you think that these limits has brought Catholics closer together here, or do you...
