He ain't my DL.

Evidence in these statements:

"Even 'Catholicism' in it's most traditional sense put's more of a emphasis on works! Confession, attending mass, the fancy rituals-something very similar to other faiths. Please understand that God is not interested on what we 'show' on the outside, he is interested in what is in our hearts, and unfortunately Sin spews forth and the only way to negate that is to put our faith and trust in Jesus as he took the punishment we all deserve and saved us from our Sins. Now I'm not going to sit here and say that Catholics aren't Christians, there are many who are! I would argue that "Catholicism" seems to not only be based on what The Bible says but on a whole load of other literary works which contradict The Bible, thus it can become a little confusing.

Now would I say such a thing?

Why do you think you are right, in sifting out the right from the wrong, and finding that religion falls short?

I don't believe the guy is a DL, because nobody would bother writing such a long post under the guise of a DL. I think he is an online missionary, wandering from forum to forum to spread the word.

Lol actually I would like to know what a DL is?

Yes I am actually from the Mafia! lol.

No I'm just a humble uni student who should be doing homework...

I didn't do a cut and paste job thanks.

There is a whole topic of "Why God" stuff happening in www.rpgforums.net
here is the link:

http://www.rpgforums.net/forumdispl...daysprune=&f=34

I thought that I might as well bring the discussion over to Apolyton as well. :-)

Seeya and I will post a lengthier reply shortly, I need to do homework and stuff for a while. Laterz.

Bytheway about the poll: I dont mean to undermine Catholicism or Protestantism by having an option for believers to put Jesus. I just wanted to see what people thought as more important. :-) Their ideology or their faith in Jesus. I myself go to a Baptist Church. I guess you would put me in the category as an 'evangelical' of course I just prefer Christian.

Why would I do that on Apolyton? The only people I could safely talk to would be other Catholics, or other members of my own church, neither condition fulfilled by Apolyton.

I'm not stupid. If I had a DL, the last thing I would do is post in the same thread as the DL.

Why attract unnecessary attention?

Actually it was you I was interacting with, Ben Kenobi. You're almost as fun as Fez in that regard.

As for the "newbie," his sole contribution to the forum is this propaganda dump, designed to troll the likes of you. In that regard, I think he's quite satisfied with his results.

I think it was aimed at folks like Skywalker. I wondered how long it would take for one of the atheists to jump on this troll.

I actually agree with most of what he posted, so why would I get riled up about the thread?

Young Skywalker, he has much to learn in the ways of the Force.

Well, you were right, that it did look suspicious that the DL posted only after I left for dinner.

So I wanted to nip the speculation in the bud.

It was not my intention to Troll, I just wanted to start a discussion on a topic which I find interesting. Bytheway what does "Woot" mean?

Since when did an opinion become a propaganda dump? Does that then classify everyone's opinion on this topic as 'propaganda' or is it just because I touched on an issue that some people are touchy with? Or is it because I'm a Christian?
