don't you ever question your faith?

what would be funny is the pope in an interrogation room, face down with a knee in his back, still not providing realistic answers.

So in order to be Roman Catholic you have to believe every single teaching of the Roman Catholic Church and can not disagree with any. Is this what you are saying?

So how do you explain how different Popes have made changes in the church then?

True it is a fundamental distinction between Protestant and Roman Catholic teaching but that dose not mean you cease to be Roman Catholic if you do not believe it.

Yes. Exactly.

I refuse to accept that people who vote yes are intelligent enough to use a computer. Therefore, I conclude we have a number of people who are suffering from parkinsons and actually meant to click no.

Let me put it to you like this -

Am I Catholic? No

Do I believe that communion is the body of Christ? Yes.

Do I eat the body of Christ? Yes.

Fuck[/U]you Christ - I eat you - nom nom nom nom nom.

Going against the majority and going with yes.

It's faith pure and simple. It's meant to defy logical assumption.
If you've ever had life or death experiences it does tend to open your mind to the possibility.

By the way, that's just my own opinion. I'm not going to try and defend my beliefs to anyone here as I'm pretty far from a missionary

I refuse to accept that people can be that blindly bigoted, therefore I invoke Poe's law: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe's_Law

Many years ago my rabidly Catholic granny was diagnosed with coeliac's disease (allergy to gluten), she duly gave up her 'daily bread' and was given a sip of the wine instead...as a precocious teenager I asked did that mean that granny was a protestant because she didn't believe in transubstantiation (I think we were doing the reformation in school)...cue clip on the ear and reminder to be seen and not heard...the proof of the puddin's in the atein...

No.. I can think for myself and really enjoy ridiculing organised religion. Emphasis on "organised religion".
I admire faith and spirituality but anyone who believes in a man-made book is a complete eejit. People don't seem to realise that their own idea of spirituality is just as valid as the world's biggest religion.

Popes love power, they get da money, then they get da bitches!...well, alter boys anyways...

Putting aside the different judeas front/front of judea sects, if the bible itself is taken a la carte (oh I like that bit but not that bit) then you're not a christian. If you want to be a christian, be a bloody christian and make sure you sell your youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. If your friends are on boards.ie on the Sabbath, Exodus 35:2 clearly says you should put them to death. Do you stone farmers for planting different crops side by side and if not, why not? Have you burned your mother alive for wearing garments made from two different threads?

Fake christianity is not "better" than believing in yourself for a change.

That's exactly how it works.. How people think they can pick and choose the bits they like is beyond me.

Money. Every hear of indulgences? Read up on it and let me know what you think.

Fair enough I suppose, but I actually have quite a bit of respect for someone who calls themselves religious but is willing to be skeptical about some elements of their faith. A critical mind doesn't necessariy preclude spirituality.

Nobody said it did. We are talking about one particular aspect of a religion which many people claim to be a member of and don't believe. They'd be better off in a different denomination.

Christ, a few posts in and we have the ra ra atheists are stupid crowd in already

But... I am an atheist.

Catholics are cannibals, catholics are cannibals, catholics are cannibals!

In answer to the OP.
No.
For the same reason I don't believe that Jesus was an actual vine, with actual leaves.

What, exactly, do Judaic laws have to do with Christianity?

It's all well and good reading that "letter to Dr. Laura" or whatever other tripe you git your (bad) argument from, but you don't actually have a clue what you are talking about.

There should be a ban on daft posters posting daft threads under 100 posts and a slap for those over 100.

NOT ANOTHER RELIGION THREAD!!!

Well this isn't really a debate, it's just a straightforward question, with a yes or no answer.

Mine is: NO

Thank you for your time.

By the way if you answer no, you're not a Roman Catholic.

There is something very schizophrenic about this post...

Man I hate religious persecution threads. (And that is what this is. It's "LOOK AT MEEEE I'M THE SUPERIOR ATHEIST" by the back door.

I'm not voting.

Personally I go for the fuzzy fuzzy It's not that simple answer. Do I think the bread becomes a peice of meat? no. Do I know or want to discuss what I think the Bread becomes after the Sacrament? No.

Disgusted this religion bashing thread is being allowed continue.

I voted yes, just to be a thorn in your atheist smartarse sides. :pac:

Well we have a breed of eejits in Ireland who will tick "Catholic" on the census, then turn around and vote no on this.

As I said, it's just a poll, no need to bash although that would be fun to watch.

Ah I see, you're a census nazi.
