I am not a Catholic and I thought the entire blog was very interesting. For some reason this person who has the right to remove himself from the blog at the very moment that his sensibilites become offended, felt that he needed to comment on something that I'm not even sure he read. Lisa never once "proclaimed" that she was an expert. He/She is just being a total jerk. Go find someone else to bother!KSTaterbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692735135794101511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875195811184851268.post-70250621972339869542013-03-24T16:51:09.871-05:002013-03-24T16:51:09.871-05:00Someone else made the comment about catholics bapt...Someone else made the comment about catholics baptizing babies. I had always thought this was so strange as we usually let kids of our faith choose when they want baptism. Sometimes it doesn't happen until they are young adults. Reading todays blog now it makes sense why catholics baptize as babies. I had never heard of original sin in the context of us being born with it, but apparently catholics are not the only ones who believe this. If you think about it, it does make sense. Thanks blogger. Another great blog.

It couldn't be that I am commenting because of the hypocritical way christians talk, believe and try to shove their beliefs down my throat. No it must be because I am just trying to start a fight. I made some very good points about both this blog and christians in general but of course I am just a rogue blog disturber and now I have been found out. My point and my only point was that this blogger is trying to make christians and catholics especially sound like they are above the rest of the world. Catholics only are guilty of the those small venial sins while the rest of the world is accused of the large mortal sins. I can't believe more of you were not upset. I am done here. Drink the religious grape juice and follow this self proclaimed expert. I really don't care. This is why christians give the world a such a huge pain in the arse.

I doubt he or she cares one thing for or against religion they simply are here to see if they can bait others into an argument. <br /><br />As long as anyone responds then they are getting their jolly's and will continue with this ridiculousness. I have seen this before on blogs and you can tell this person has no real point because they make no real point. They are just generally throwing BS bombs at Christians to see who will bite. The fact that this person keeps repeating things that anyone who has read this blog or any of the other religious blogs the blogger wrote and knows aren't true, shows that this person is just trying to fuel a fire he or she started. Just ignore this person and I guarantee that he will move on to another blog and try to start the same thing. <br /><br />These blogs are great blogs and no fight baiter is going to turn this bloggers readers away.

Again let me say what a christian attitude that is. Not surprising though as it is the typical christian attitude the world is used to.

Not her expert opinions and beliefs and I think she also said that we all commit sin. That would include her. You too for that matter. I know that you are here to stir up issues and I know that I shouldn't be buying into it all, but I would hate for someone to read your remarks and take them as fact instead of just what they are, your uneducated opinion on a subject you know nothing about.

I didn't do my research because truthfully it didn't interest me enough to read back any further. I read today's blog and felt preached to. Is that how this person explains the differences between catholics and others by spouting her religion? Doesn't sound like much of an explanation to me. Sin! Is she an expert? Makes you wonder just how sinful this little miss is. In order to be an expert you have to have experience. Should you all be taking expert advice from someone who is such an expert in "sin"?

She started it as explanation of what Catholics believe as opposed to what the rest of the world thinks they believe and do. She has also stated she is no expert that these are just her thoughts and how she believes. Maybe if you had actually done your research before spouting off you might have known this. I love this blog and I have learned a lot. Don't like, then don't read it.

Why? Are you an expert on religion or are you just trying to shove religion down others peoples throats. I am no friend to any religion, sect or cult but I especially do not like people who try to make the world religious and spout their garbage as if anyone gives a f*ck. There has to be some kind of sin involved in shoving religious beliefs in the face of people who aren't interested.

I think you should teach an adult class because even as a Catholic you have brought up certain things in your weekly blog that I did not know. I find it interesting and informative and feel that your church is doing itself a disservice by not utilizing your Catholic education to the fullest. Another nice blog.

Well there is that whole not believing in Jesus thing with the jews but in our basic core and moral beliefs we all fall back on the 10 Commandments. Nice blog.

I hadn't heard the terms original, venial and mortal sin in years. Although I took a break from religion in general I still can't help but get irritated when I hear someone speak in ignorance when it comes to the catholic church or its beliefs. I like that you try to clear up myths and misinformation that many have about catholics. I have to say that today's blog almost made me homesick. I have no doubt you will give some grief on the topic of sin because most of us don't like the fact that we are all sinners thrown in our face. Sometimes the truth sucks. Great blog.

I always thought it was just a way a to brain wash the kids into a belief early. I know that sounds bad but that is how I was taught. Understanding the thinking behind something other than just the prejudice of others helps to me to understand catholics a little better. I have catholic friends and these Sunday blogs you do helps me to see things about them a little better. As a protestant to a catholic let me say thank you for the time you spend doing this. <br />ArthurArthurnoreply@blogger.com
