It does suit your past behaviour here a lot better.

When you are truly ready to change completely and be genuinely born again in Christ, then and only then with full surrender shall you realise hownthe Catholic church is the irrefutable 1 true best ever church.

Look at human trafficking worldwide and general sex abuse worldwide.

EO aint it.


Caths have had to own up tonwhat they did, EO never has seemed to own up or apologise.

I would. The motivation is certainly compelling.

My main obstacle however isn’t I haven’t devoted enough time to studying the other religions.
So you can be Christian and then also study other religions and change religion if other is better. Kinda like how I was Christian until Satan took me.

Do you mean Catholicism or Christianity?

This is a very strong and compelling case for catholicism. While originally I was against catholicism for its dirty history, you did do a good job at redeeming it. So I will certainly reconsider it as an option. You drive a hard bargain

It is hard to overlook the degeneracy and inhuman abominations a lot of these church organizations have become. It's one of the factors that caused me to reject mormonism in the past. It was the cultlike behavior but also the crimes of its founder, Joseph Smith.

I mean yeahhh that is a valid argument.
But constantly switching religions may jeopardize the authenticity of my will and ability to commit.

Well, the other option is to then study all religions first and be atheist or current religion until you find one true religion. But there are many religions out there now. Might take way too long time. As for Christians, I really prefer Jehovah's witnesses.

EO nations are corrupt top to bottom very often and in terms of Christian nations have some of the worst human trafficking (Mexico has consensual human trafficking over the border on average, whereas in EO I mean tricked and abused human trafficking)

Perhaps then you are a force for Good in The World. 

I see your efforts to save the lost souls in your own ways, which may not be obvious to others. If God exists, then we are all Brothers & Sisters under Christ. 

And if it is your own words that can convince me to turn to God, then all the merrier.

King Baldwin of Jerusalem is one of my role models for universal virtue. Even if I’m not necessarily christian

Ratman's joined the RC club and returned.

They are now vying for the role as head of the DebartArt Church of Modern Day Saints.

The worst type of evangelist is a newly converted one.


And yep, all that crusading and fighting and traipsing back and forth, sure were virtuous times...Laying the foundations for a lasting peace in the Holy Land.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


Nope...French colonialism just like British colonialism, like all attempts at empire, just fuck up the lives of the common man.


It's the way it goes though.

Are you associating Jehovah’s Witness with Satan?

If you check you dictionary, you will find that evangelical perfectly describes a zealot.


And I am an atheist 24/7, and have never been anything else.

Have you been a Catholic for 65 years?

 Pastor Jim Bakker, host and founder of The Jim Bakker Show, is a pioneer of Christian Television.

I think more like Stephen Hawking.

Have you donated to Jim's rescue appeal yet.

Though perhaps Donald could find him a job in the State Department for sexual equality.

Actually if you lifted your finger and looked it up, evangelicals have doctrinal diagreements with Catholics.

Nope. 

Evangelicals, as a theistic sub-group, might be more associated with Protestantism.

Whereas the term evangelical has a broader meaning... Zealous in advocating or supporting a particular cause.

I know this because I lifted my finger previously...I do try not to quote references inappropriately if at all possible.

By that definition you are an evangelical cynical atheist passionately bragging about how meaningless life is and ridiculing all who find meaning.

Take a real good look at yourself.
