electricdisk Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 ahhh.. circle... it is probably because you go up and down every topic/thread and discussion... I personally don't see how you do it.... just stick with your favorite thread and post once in a while.... If it becomes a chore, it isn't fun anymore! Enjoy your stay, not go away. (Ha! Rhyming......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_Master Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 it's more than just the work. much of the debate is pointless and little more than bickering with one, if not both sides seeing the other as a poor lost kid. I've asked a lot of questions to attempt to reform my view of Catholics, I see nothing on it from the opposite side. Thus, pointless. I was already suggested by several people books to read instead of getting information on Catholicism from here. So maybe I will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkan_hanil Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well Circle_Master, you're always welcome to explore our "Reading" section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 CM.... I think you gave good honest advice to me regarding discerning God's will. Personally, I think we probably have more in common than we have differences. Myself, I don't enjoy "defending" my Faith.... but I never mind explaining my beliefs.... Just not into the "debate" thing among different faiths... but thats just me, because alot of times it does seem like kids bickering that will never get along--LOL! Maybe if you came into each post and looked for similarities instead of differences you would have more fun? Like when you gave me honest helpful advice.... it was good. Peace.

Muschi Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Dang, Circle! Personally, I've read and enjoyed your threads. You don't come across as hostile as Bruce does. NOt that he might not make a good point here or there, but inflammatory posts never made anyone's day let alone yours or mine, no? I hope you decide to stay because you bring some fresh thoughts and good "debating" on this "phorum". One of the reasons why I think you MIGHT be frustrated (don't take it so hard or abe offended), is the fact that many of us myself included, are converts to the Catholic Faith. Please don't let that offend you if we get overly enthused though. Please? - God bless! - Muschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperdulia again Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Circle I think you should read ask questions here about what you have read. I tend to stop reading/posting on threads after page 2, that's usually when they have managed to degenerate into useless bickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_Master Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 no, because then I can't debate when I find inconsistencies and things blatantly non-Scriptural . at least in my private interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) Circle we are never going to agree on much because of your insistance on sola scriptura and our insistance on Tradition but you do keep it interesting and civil. For that I thank you. Remember you are debating many ex-protestants here, so they have been where you are now. I think that accounts for some impatience. Have you read catholicism for dummies? It sounds silly, but is an excellent overview of every facet of catholic life. I was pleasantly surprised. It is written by Father Trigilo from EWTN. I have found it a great reference book and you may enjoy it. I also suggest you read the articles posted by Mark Shea at catholicexchange.com. Just type him in the search engine there. He is a goldmine of catholic thought. Here is his home site: http://www.mark-shea.com/index.html Edited January 1, 2004 by cmotherofpirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_Master Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 actually, The Bible for Dummies is rather good as well. surprisingly. and I'll read through some of mark shea's stuff. I am severely uneducated on Catholic apologetics though (at least I think so), so don't be surprised if I doubt most I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
