The CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS NO OBJECTIONS TO ABORTION NOW...A FETUS IS NOT A HUMAN....

No, it wasn't. Constantine instituted tolerance for Christianity, but it didn't become the state religion until much later and there were competing Christian belief systems, IIRC...

Right, but what I meant was.....once the Roman Catholic church took over the "Christianity" business, there WAS no real competition.

My main point was that all Christian denominations that exist today were splinter groups from the Catholic Church.

Sure.....there was a period of 300 years where Christians were still being tossed to the lions, etc.

And for some strange reason....the Romans made it a point to attempt to try to wipe out all relatives and descendants of Jebus.

And then after the Roman Empire fell, the Holy Roman Catholic Church seized power in the "Christianity" department, and kept it in a stranglehold until Martin Luther told them to shove their fucking fairy tale books up their asses....

I thought it was the Peoples' Front of Judea...

I thought it was the Popular Front...

[Nickdfresh]

I forget, was Constantine a member of the PFJ or the Judean People's Front?

Nope. The Catholic or universal church was founded by Emperor Constantine for political purposes. The christian faith existed before the catholic church. The catholic church is the trunk where the prodestant religions branched off of. So it would be the original church from a prodestant perspective.

Well, except for the Mormons..... we all know they're full of shit.

Well ol' Joe Smith proved he couldn't understand hebrew nor could he translate egyptian texts either.

About the only prophecy he got right was predicting the civil war would start in South Carolina and that was a lucky educated guess.

[Nitro Express]

Stupid.

Catholic was THE ORIGINAL Christian church.

ALL other Christian denominations are based on Catholicism.

Haha.....Nick, if you pissed off Elbow you know you are doing well.

Gee.....wonder why idiot has not come back to give us all a lecture about the Catholic Church based on his "extensive knowledge".

Fucking tool.

Because he knows everyone including this recovering Catholic will bitch-slap him on his bullshit, in addition to your previous points. They're all different flavors of the same fucking snake oil, and to kick dirt and scream one is better than another is beyond retarded.

Elvis is a very angry man, it's not hard to piss him off by telling him his superstition is no less bullshit than the Vatican's...

[ELVIS]

That is true...

[FORD]

I seem to remember ELVIS making a lot of anti-Catholic posts a few years ago. Said Catholics weren't actually Christian, if I remember correctly. Katydoodle had a meltdown over it, which is what made it entertaining.

[ELVIS]

That says jack shit...
