Why should that make it un-true or un-genuine?

Even better! Just do a Google search on Sandra Beth Geisel and see if that curriculum might appeal to you.

Originally posted by lucifershammerTo move the discussion along, I'll provide my own responses.
1. Whether the Baptist community that wib grew up in should be called a "Church" because it uses fear.
2. Whether the Catholic Church is justified in calling itself the One True Church because it has [apparently] changed over the centuries
Originally posted by lucifershammerThe Catholic Church once insisted, as a matter of its theology as you have often made quite clear, that the sun revolved around the Earth.
[b]The set of things that Catholicism claims today is different than the set of things that it claimed two hundred years ago.
Be specific, Doctor. Which things?[/b]
Originally posted by kirksey957Oops, but I dó care for what you say .... only I have the impression that you avoid a serious and maybe stiff discussion about it. My anger (oh well, lets not exagerate) stems from the fact that you dodge serious and in-depth discussions about certain issues. I have accepted that now, because you have explained that you are here for your pleasure. That's all right .... I was not angry with you because you express certain views, but for not being willing to discuss them in depth after a certain point. After a while you simply .... disappeared .... in fact you ignored me .... and that fed my irritation, because you did it more than once.
Would this explain why you usually react pretty negatively to my interpretations? From what you said it sounds like you may not care for what I say just because I am not a Catholic.

I have made a brief return for some Spiritual renewal, but I will be taking my leave again in a couple weeks for my investigation into the origins of species.

No. It was Southern Baptist. The "fire and brimstone" kind of Baptist.
Sunday school in the mornings, sermon in the afternoon, prayer meetings on Wednesday nights, vacation bible school during the summer (for a whole week) and revivals were held "as needed". Which was often....
That's a lotta churching.
Originally posted by ivanhoeWell it is very possible that I did discuss it as fully as I knew how. My responses to isues is most often shorter than many others because I 1) like to get to the point and 2) most things of great importance don't need a lot of discussion as they are simply important to that particular person for simple reasons.

Originally posted by kirksey957LMAO! What a great story. You should take him south of the border for some cerveza. Should be no problem with that.
I heard one minister say that he would not drink rootbeer because the word "beer" resided in it. Is this the best the church has to offer?
