BF2S Forums Just Gonna Clear Up About Catholics

Fair enough.

We r christian so dont think we believe in anything else...

Woah, i thought you guys were like Cat worshippers or something. You know. Cat-a-holics! [/lame]

This isn't news to anyone.  Anyone who debates the invalidity of Christianity had better know these basic facts.

And you are able to believe in other things that aren't Catholic.  I have a friend who is the biggest Catholic I've ever met and he supports evolution.

The pope is the biggest catholic in the world and he supports evolution and so have his two predecessors.

Catholicism started modern day Christianity. Protestants say shit because of good old king Henry wanted a divorce but church said he can't, so he started his own church! LAWLZ HISTORIES LEZZONS.

I'll never believe in any religion that uses fear as a recruitment tactic (the majority of them).  I'd bet a big chunk of all christians only believe in god because they're afraid of Hell..

Maybe in the 10th century Bubbalos comment is relevant. Fear as recruitment? Nobody is forcing you to even believe in it. How can you be afraid of it if you do not even believe it exists? For your bet, it's not as though many people are lining up to go to hell. You could, however, substitute your error with something along the lines of "Many Christians believe to be on the safe side if hell indeed exists." Pwnt?

Uh, no.  The reformation was started by Martin Luther.  Henry (not sure which one, little help?) just used it as an opportunity to establish a church which he controlled.

WTF are you on about?  The crux of Catholic belief is that non-believers go to hell.  That's the whole point of just about any religion.

During the second Vatican council the Catholic church said there is true to all religion. Why there are definitely Catholics who think otherwise the mainstream doesn't think people of other faiths will immediately go to hell.

Which is a council which claimed to lack infallibility.  The fact is that the point of the Catholic church, as with almost all other religions, is that believers of other faiths go to hell.  Otherwise, they'd just join with the other church.

eh what?!

"many Christians believe to be on the safe side if hell indeed exists"

I think you just invalidated your argument

And no you're right, they're not forcing me to believe in it... However at a "youth group" camp I went to, they made us "accept" Christ as our savior or else they'd lock us in a room with a counselor who would cry and pray for us...telling us that we were going to hell.  I was in the sixth grade.

I now have a deep rooted hatred for religions that tell me that I'm going to burn in a fiery oven for eternity; another clever line shoved down my throat when I was in pre-school.

No, because that isn't the belief of Christianity.  I suggest you re-read your bible, specifically the part about Jesus.

Yep, no. I think Cyborg meant Church of England, and yes, it was King Henry VIII and his rather chequered marital exploits

Yes, and which came first, Martin Luther's Reformation or King Henry's Church of England?
