Go and look at your own peril. It's getting nasty in some of those threads!

Yes, it is getting nasty, but I don't think you're the one who's out of line. All of this stuff has been interesting reading for me, since I'm a Catholic who is looking into Lutheranism.



You are correct sea oat, I was just in one of those threads myself; Tallguy, you and some others have been trying to keep things civil, bless you and those others for your efforts.

I'm in the same boat.

Thanks. I try to keep it civil. But I can sometimes lose it when talking with nutjobs.

I didn't post in the threads, but I subscribed to them, because I'm trying to read as much as I can from books, websites, and and forums about some theological concerns I've been having.

I saw plenty of sane Catholics in those threads, but it seems like they were drowned out by a few who are perhaps overzealous.

I told myself I wouldn't let my decision be influenced by the rudeness of zealots on either side, but I do take into consideration the valid information/arguments they bring to the table.

I've lost it a few times myself.
