Did you click on the Death Cookie cartoon a little ways down?

Why do I have a feeling next Sunday, as I walking down the aisle to receive communion, I going to have Death Cookie running through my head.

I just read the death cookie

Do these people actually believe this-- is this a real born again website????

I once had one of those nice 'Christian' ladies tell me, "Well, Catholics don't believe in the bible." News to me. Not to mention pretty rude since she knew I was Catholic when she said it. It got a pretty good laugh at bible study that week though.

I am an evangelical Christian. May I just say . I really get sick and tired of the theological simpletons who come up with some of this stuff. I consider Catholics my brothers and sisters in Christ, even if y'all won't let me have communion in your churches

Hello Brother! I am always amazed by how many people actually want to share our dry thin wafers......

God made many different kinds of people, and there are many different kinds of ways to worship. I leave the final judgement up to Him.

Oy Vey!

Here is a JOKE/parody church site:

Landover Baptist | Where the Worthwhile Worship. Unsaved Unwelcome.


Funny (and scary) that there's REAL sites out there that look like this joke site!

I know you are teasing, but this made me realize that this kind of thing might be part of the problem -- there is so much that people don't understand about our religion.

Even I am not supposed to take communion if I have not fully prepared -- I should have fasted an hour in advance (I don't think this has changed -- it used to be longer). I should have gone to confession. I by all means should have been prepared with classes (kids do it a whole year before their first holy communion and I had to as an adult).

Most of all, you have to accept the host is actually the body and blood of Jesus.

When I was a kid at Protestant Church it was much more symbolic, just a kind of time to share and commune (even though I don't think kids were allowed before they were members). Communion is a sacrament and means something much different in Catholic Church. It's not just "snack time", it is extremely mystical, and it would be sacreligious to partake in the sacrament without full awareness and acceptance. (Ask any kid who has fooled around with a host!!!

I know you don't hate Catholics, but when people do, maybe it's because they don't understand us. For a bunch of people who aren't Christian (as I am told on occasion), we sure do alot of talking and worshipping of Christ!!

And the born again part -- we do believe we must be born again, but we just see it a little different -- not as a lightning bolt moment, but as the result of years of study and prayer and reflection and personal growth.

Being Catholic means you can act up on Saturday and go to church on Sunday and all is well.

Now see, this is just the kind of thing that auntpolly is talking about.

You obviously know nothing about the religion, yet you choose to show your ignorance by making such a ridiculous statement.

Please read my signature and figure out which piece of advice it contains is the one you should follow. I'll give you a hint...it's written in green.

Yes DisneyDoll - I remember this from my religious education; don't you? It's one of those things that came out of Vatican II!

I think I would have thumped her on the head with that bible.......but that's just me.

I was raised catholic. I can remember when I lived down in Mississippi for a year, having a conversation with another young wife. Her dad was a minister. She asked me what religion I was. It was an odd question that no one had ever asked me before. I replied that I was Catholic. Her jaw literally dropped. And her eyes bugged out of her head. Yeah a bit like that guy there. She said to me, with such seriousness..."Do you know you're going to hell?" I just could help it I just . I said well thanks for letting me know.

OMGosh the same thing just happened to me! Some friends from DH's work came to help us move and the wife asked me about church. I told her I was raised Catholic but I left the church years ago, she looked at me and said "Do you know you're going to hell?" I laughed because I thought she was kidding, she wasn't.

She then informed me that I should try and save myself and my children because the end was coming. She told me all I needed to do was follow the bible literally and I'd be OK. She told me a story of her uncle and how he was a raging alcoholic and one day he collapsed and prayed and then he was cured instantly. She said the Catholic religion was just crazy, used the phrase "those people" it was surreal. Towards the end I told her well I don't even believe in hell, you should've seen her face. I would've told her what I really believe but I didn't want her head to explode so I just left it at "I'm more spiritual then religious". After they left I told DH and he was mad but I thought it was hysterical.

What's really scary is that I know of people like this. Many moons ago, I managed a small business and several of my employees were Catholic high school girls. One of them came to work one day with tears in her eyes. I asked what was wrong and she said that she had been hanging around a local coffee shop with some friends when a youth minister from a very large Baptist Church approached her and basically told her that she would not be going to Heaven.

I thought there must have been more to the story or that perhaps she misunderstood what he was saying. She said no, he found out that she was Catholic and decided to approach her about converting since a lot of her friends were Baptist and when she told him she wasn't interested, that's when he told her what he did.

I don't get it. I consider myself a Christian (Protestant) and I don't agree with this type of behavior.

 

[paigevz]

That's just weird. I don't get that at all. Why anyone would think anyone of ANY religion is automatically going to hell is beyond me, but especially Christians thinking it of Christians? Strange.

Besides, the Bible clearly states that people are not to judge people. That only God can do that.

Once we went to a new dr. The lady was filling out the initial paperwork. She asked my husband, "Are you Catholic or Christian?" He just stared at her, not knowing how to answer, and finally said, "Methodist".

 

[auntpolly]

I got "the talk" from the wife of an employee! She's just lucky that we just value people's work and would never hold something like this against them -- because I laughed it off but I have to say I was very offended.

I said -- so you're saying I'm going to Hell, and she said very plainly, "yes, you are." I told her that she should count herself very lucky that she was born into the family that she was, with parents that raised her in the only way that could get you saved!

 

[LisaB]

What gets me is these people who don't think Catholics are Christian. Hate to disappoint you but we were here first. Every other Christian church spilt from us.

 

[Quinn222]

I think I would have thumped her on the head with that bible.......but that's just me.

You know, I was just so stunned that I think I just stood there gaping at her. I couldn't believe she had actually said it and meant it. And the kicker of it was, she was my boss!

Your boss! oh for heaven's sake! Is there some kind of "religious harrassmen"t law, like sexual harrassment? I would have been tempted.....

You are probably a hussy too.

I know I've posted this before somewhere but my best friend told me about how at her granddaughter's christening (Catholic) the other grandmother came up to her after hearing the homily and said (I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP) I didn't know that ya'll believed in Christ.

 

[Cool-Beans]

This is funny, two days ago I was told that I'm going to hell.

My neighbor's sister is in from out of town and I stopped by to meet her. It took about 10 minutes, but she told me that I was going to hell unless I joined her church and that if I did convert that life would get harder for me because once you choose Jesus the devil goes after you EVEN HARDER trying to get your soul. She was totally serious.

Then DH started in on her with his, "I'll leave God alone if He'll leave me alone" crap and she turned her attention toward saving his heathen soul. She failed, of course, but bless her for trying!

I have a smiley that is vomiting. I've been afraid to use it because I didn't want to get in "trouble" with the moderators. Never before has it fit a post so well. That is just gross.

We live in the Bible Beating Belt, and I hear mess like this from time to time -- mostly from the ever so "tolerant" Baptists. We have a large Baptist church (cost millions of $ to build) here in our small town that spreads stuff like this. Dh and I call that church "Six Flags Over Jesus" because it is so flamboyant, ostentatious, intolerant, and far removed from what a church should be. I think the preacher and deacons run a credit check before a new member is allowed to "worship" there.
