Mark of the Cross Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1296002931' post='2204382'] I said other, meaning agnosticism. I think it's dumb. [/quote] There are many people who are in a spiritual desert. I pray for them all the time. I would put down every dumb version of every other religion before agnosticism. Many agnostics I know are just not aware that they are Christians. Woa! I just looked up the definition. It's more complicated than I thought. I've always thought it to mean those who are searching, but can't find it. My preceding statement applies to them. ([i]weak agnostic[/i]) About the others I still think an aggressive evil religion would be worse. Scientology, Many Islamic versions and even bent versions of Catholicism/Christianity. Convolution of the truth which is a lie is worse than denial. At least a '[i]strong agnostic[/i]' is not bringing disrepute to truth, unlike some Catholics who may even be impostors that bring our beloved lady to disrepute. [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' timestamp='1296003487' post='2204387'] I"m changing my vote to Scientology. My vote from years back is wrong. [/quote] It's too late ya stuck with awesome!

ExCorde Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I just went ahead and took this stuff about [i]God making little sense[/i] and [i]not having to answer to no one[/i], and turned it around myself! What I think is that Love is profoundly meaningful even though apparently absurd and emptying, and that the Church teaches us that. When people started sounding like it was just ok and cool to have the perspective that [b][i]God was above petty human things like "making sense" (for real?)[/i][/b], I started thinking about it myself and found out that could be a [b]huge mistake[/b]. I think it's a huge pitfall if we start thinking that God is ridiculous and absurd. Such ideas about the Divine are what actually kept other civilizations far behind in scientific research (even the Islamic) and Christianity to best favor its growth. This is a hugely relevant issue for today's understanding of faith and reason and will be even more so in the future. So [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=111156&st=0&gopid=2213407&#entry2213407"][b]I made this post and placed it on an appropriate thread[/b][/url]., which I highly recommend to be joined in by dUSt, Winchester, jaime (the artist formerly known as hot stuff), ThePenciledOne and everyone else for that matter.

Hinter dem Horizont Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Mormonism is absolutely ridiculous to me. Atheism is too, but that isn't a religion. It's lack of belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExCorde Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 How about Transhumanism? It's a few ages ahead of Scientology in weirdness and have their own version of "life after death"!

infinitelord1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) If I were to choose someone to date or get married to, and I had the choice between a Mormon, Atheist, Protestant, Muslim, and Catholic here is what my precedence would be.... 1) Catholic 2) Atheist (Only in the Case that the person wouldn't distract Me from God) 3) Protestant 4) Mormon 5) Muslim If the Atheist distracted me from the Catholic Faith then I would have to end the relationship. But if the Atheist didn't distract me, then I would rather date or marry that person than any of the others. It would be a fun challenge to debate with the Atheist about God's existence.

Peter John Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 [quote name='Winchester' timestamp='1057378747' post='977'] I voted Catholicism, the only religion courageous and truthful enough to not make sense. And that is why it must be true. [/quote] That says it best. I voted for other myself, since VooDoo wasn't on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 A liberal wishy-washy Protestant would be better than even a relatively 'convinced' atheist though, IMO. If I had to make a scale like that, it would rely more on openness to Catholicism, then 'convertibility'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stubborness and inability to convert is what would be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
