Drew-Memphis Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hey all! I've been sort of absent lately and I'm sorry!!! LOL. However, I could use some help defending our Catholic faith on another forum. [url="http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-fighting-forum/99866-ecumenism-or-going-to-our-separate-corners.html"]http://www.fundamentalforums.com/the-fighting-forum/99866-ecumenism-or-going-to-our-separate-corners.html[/url] In the last two days, I've made over 50 posts in this single thread I've started. They're quite active. Any support from the Phamily would be appreciated!! My name on there is "CatholicDrew" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Cat Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Arguing with a fundamentalist is futile. Once they identify you as a threat they will expel you. They are like the borg in that sense, they let you walk around their ship aimlessly till they think you've done something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 You have far more patience than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selah Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) lol. I used to do this for fun. They base their beliefs on emotion and how they feel, and they are easily angered. "Your appeal to emotion is no match for my cold hard logic!" Ah, good times. Good times. You're brave for going on the Fundamental Forums. That place is a bastion of heresy and hatred that would make Fred Phelps blush. [quote] Revoke the Council of Trent, fire the Pope and the Coredemptrix, burn all idolatrous images and anathematize the blasphemous Mass and we can start to talk.[/quote] "Master of Fundamentalism" indeed. People like this make me really question whether or not we can call fundamentalists Christians. I'm sorry, I know that's harsh, but...come on. That's why I went off about the Whosoevers. Can we really call people who spread hatred and false witness against other Christians, who hold books like "A Woman Rides The Beast" and "The Two Babylons" and go to other countries to apostasize them from the Church...a Christian? /end tangent.

Drew-Memphis Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 They've resorted to calling the Eucharist, cannibalism. Sure no one wants to join in the fun? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be ironic to have a Catholic with the title of "Master of Fundamentalism"? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selah Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Tell them that the early Christians were called canniballs as well, and that the Eucharist goes back, way back, to the point of the early church hiding in the catacombs to receive it. It's drawn upon the walls for goodness sake. Ask them what Christ meant when he said "My flesh is real food, my blood is true drink." Ask them why this was considered a hard saying. Ask them why St. Paul told us we drink damnation to ourselves...over a symbol?

Mr.Cat Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Unfortunately because my experience with fundamentalists, ideologues, fanatics, extremists, and anyone of the same kin I tend to automatically assume to be a troll till reason dictates otherwise. This is because they meet the classic definition of a troll when entering a discussion. Someone who doesn't really care what you think, won't actually engage in the discussion, will make mocking comments at you, will throw out inflammatory language to spark arguments, will almost never explain themselves, are the true victims somehow ([i]because everyone else who doesn't agree with them are trolls[/i]), and of course they are always right. It makes me believe they are guilty of groupthink, if you are unfamiliar with the term, I suggest looking it up. So I usually end up just offering quips like [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0"]this[/url].

Selah Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Ask them if they know what the Didache is No, of course they don't. Their pastor doesn't teach that, so therefore it's not important! sigh. What has Christianity become? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
