    Woooooow. I'd like to say I'm surprised by your list, but I can't say I am (unfortunately).

    I knew all of the other things about Catholics were true, but this one was new to me. :)

    You forgot to mention that the Catholic Church is the “AntiChrist”, “the Beast”, or “Babylon” from Revelation.

    (While technically I am not a Catholic, I was saved - heard the gospel - in a Catholic Church and studied A Catechism for Inquirers in consideration of becoming a member ... but ultimately chose not to).

    A typical Catholic is easy pickings. I wouldn't be surprised if most believed in Sola Scriptura, for example.

    I know next to nothing about Catholicism, so it's hard to know how to answer that question.

    I don't really have any preconceived notions. I guess it's difficult to have misconceptions when one doesn't have conceptions? Lol

    Bottom line: I can only plead ignorance on this subject.

    Well, I will say I'm open minded, and I don't like to pretend to know something I don't know.

    That alone seems to place me at odds with several individuals I've encountered on the Baptist board. ;)

    Catechism of the Catholic Church

    This is a link to catechism. Which is suppose to be a compendium of all Catholic doctrine.

    If you want to debate catholic teaching this is the best spot to find ammunition.

    I rarely debate the Catholic faith. I do often debate a misrepresentation of it.

    Some systems are built very xenophobic?/biggoted. Us just us, us vs them and all other religions are guaranteed evil

    Its like asking a Nazi what Jews believe. Probably not going to get favorable view of Jews.

    We trust God enough in the faith he put you in, a conversion from you isn't required. We view other religions as brothers and sisters.

    Imagine a religion that reflects the character of Jesus. Its not a religion that goes around stomping on the others ones, it tries to guide pickup and ideally will die for the other.

    Love is the highest priority, I believe this priority can be found in all denominations.

    And an outright false claim to boot! He always makes the charge but can't back it up with fact, he only uses more falsehoods as his examples.

    Thank you for this information. I, for one, have grown weary of seeing those who have views that are not "Baptist" (or that do not conform to the majority here) being ridiculed, scorned, bullied, and harrassed on this board.

    But, perhaps, I'm in the minority. It certainly appears that way. But from where I'm sitting, I find it disheartening,and just plain wrong. So be it.

    Yes, I'm beginning to see that pattern. I find it wearisome, I must say.
