Mikhail Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I actually laugh when I read that. "The Catholic Church has the truth." Of course you think the Catholic Church has the truth! You're Catholic!! The Catholic Church has a lot of half-truths and heresies. Of course, you don't think that because, once again, you're Catholic. I will agree however that Protestant services are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 the Orthodox have the Eucharist too... Being Catholic can be really hard sometimes, as it is a daily battle of dying to oneself and living for Christ. It can be really difficult and at times it demands sacrifice. But the rewards are eternal and worth more than anything the world has to offer. There is nothing more amazing than knowing that no matter what happens, my life is in God's hands.

[right][snapback]720059[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Many people here are converts who deliberately and after much thought and preparation chose Catholicism because it contains the Truth. They left the generics and fundys and evangelicals and Baptists and Anglicans to come home to the Catholic Church, ya know , the one founded by Jesus Christ. There are so many converts in my diocese alone, the Bishop's welcoming celebration has to take place on two successive Sundays to accomodate the immense crowds of people converting.

[right][snapback]720059[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Hello Mikhail, I'd like to introduce you to what I call the [b]cop-out fallacy[/b]...it's essential form is as follows: "You're wrong, but your wrongness necessitates that you couldn't know any better." For instance, one might claim, "You're wrong about the sky's color. It's pink. However, because you think it's blue, you couldn't know better." The fallacy is, of coure, insulting, for starters. One cannot make a claim (especially one which insults the beliefs of another) and then set up the case for automatic invincible ignorance. This presupposes that the claim is correct (without backing it up), and further explains that any disagreement is simply due to a flaw in the opposing school of thought (also without backing it up). Therefore, it essentially is another form of the "I'm right because I am and you're wrong because you are" fallacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhail Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Raphael, That would be an interesting fallacy, if that's indeed what I said. However, if you read my posts, I never once said that "you were wrong". This whole thread was started to elevate Catholics, which was fine; until someone started elevating Catholics by putting down other Christians. That's fine to. If you need to put down someone to make yourself feel better, more power to you. I wasn't saying that I was right and you were wrong. All I was saying is that everyone thinks they are right. So to say "i'm right because I'm right" is idiotic and pointless. I wasn't trying to prove that I was right or that you were wrong. I was merely pointing out that it doesn't raise Catholics up to put others down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I agree that bashing another's religion isn't the way to support your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
