You know, I really resent that.

Are you really so desperate you must resort to name-calling?

Relax, it's just a joke! Just like your religion.

Or your arrogance.

I have to agree with Gemma on this one. That joke was meanspirited. I'm getting flashbacks to highschool.

You are angry at Catholicism, AIF, and your anger is justified, but taking that anger out on Gemma was not right.

You named her in your post; you wanted to be sure she followed your link. You drew her in; you baited her, and then you called her an idiot.

That was not a joke, AIF. Not funny. Please remember Gemma is a real person behind that handle. Although she often advocates here for the Catholic Church, she is not the Church, she is a person, and as a person she should be respected.

Feel free to make your personal jabs against one another privately. Calling someone an idiot is, in my opinion, being a jerk.

But it's perfectly acceptable for a theist to come in here and say that I'm going to fry in a lake of fire for eternity simply because I didn't choose the proper religion? How odd!

The odd part is that you are offended by it.

AIF, I forgive you for your poor judgement in posting that link, and I apologize if I have ever offended you personally.

If someone told me I was going to be eternally tortured by boiling in a lake of piping hot nickolodeon green slime while purple toads nibble on my toes I dont really think I would be offended.
Its difficult for me to be offended by someone telling me something they believe will happen to me when I dont believe in it to begin with...
