No. God is.

As I recall, you don't believe Catholics are Christians even though they had a monopoly on it for 1500 years and you couldn't even begin to call yourself a Christian if not for them.
Well, Catholics don't believe what the Bible says, they believe what the Pope has invented. Yes, in the mainstream, they were the only game in town for a long time. I am not sure if I believe that there were actually no Christians in that time frame, but the core issue is simply that you don't care what the bible says, or who is a Christian. So, there's really no frame of reference I could hope to use to discuss it with you.

I don't think I would ever go as far as to say that Catholics aren't Christian. I guess what I mean my that, even though Catholic teaching doesn't line up with the Bible, I believe that there are Catholics who have placed their faith in the Gospel of Christ. I have also met others that have placed their whole faith in the fact that some priest sprinkled them when water when they were a baby.

So you'd rather believe a fairy tale written by neolithics just settled into an agricultural life that has no scientific backing over something with actual evidence?
I never said I believe either view. Just interested in how people come have to come to the decision on what they believe. Doing OK with the biology books, thanks for asking.

Thanks for the links. I will read as much as I can :)
Something else for you to think about. Look at how many religions there currently are and how many there have been. Many, if not most, claim to be "the one true religion" and their diety or dieties are the only real ones and all other religions are false. Why is one right and the others are wrong? Some "book" says so? Most of those books can be traced to one or several human authors. Why is one more right than the others? Some are just derivations of earlier religions so why is the new interpretation correct and the old one wrong? Are dieties so confused about what they want?
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Well, it's one thing to say that a religion is not Christian, it's another to judge every person who has ever set foot in a Catholic church. I would be loathe to comment on the latter, that's between each individual and God. I would just say that the Gospel is obscured at best if you search for it amongst Catholic dogma.

That's where I thought you were coming from, but I just wanted to clarify.
