Im not, but my mother was raised Catholic.
same here. i wasnt baptized or anything and i dont go to church.
im catholic, i go to church evry sunday and was baptized
same here, church every sunday, baptized :D
I am baptised a catholic however there are some issues i have previously debated about with friends about my religion.Statement: 'You should be baptised'
View 1: Yes, It clears origional sin
View 2: No, baptism gives us a 'gaurenteed' place in heaven supposedly. If our God is the one and only true God then people will get to heaven just by being a good person not by recieving a sacrament. If you have done good in your life but haven't been baptised you can't just not get into heaven!
wait what? so what do you agree with?

Haha im gunna start using that "God ur such a kenna!" Lol
But whats the difference between catholic and regular christian?
there is a huge difference actually. christianity=catholic,protestant
catholic=roman catholic
protestant=episcopal,lutheran,presbyterian,etc.
they are two totally different branches of christianity and believe many different things, though share the belief that jesus is the son of god. for example, catholics believe that when one takes the blessed eucharist at communion, it is the body and blood of jesus christ. protestants don't. you will also find that most catholic churches are more traditional and strict than many protestant religions. in many protestant religions, females can be pastors, but catholicism is more traditional in the aspect that they still believe only men can be priests. catholics are the only denomination that honor the pope as the head of the church (other than god of course) and the pope is the descision maker and holy being of the catholic church.
John and Monolith, anything major I left out?
think ya pretty much covered it :D
Thats cool. Whats a baptist? Its not really relevant but i was jw.
i used to be catholic until i saw the light thanks to lauren :) (so when you tell her that it is useless trying to convert people and stuff you are wrong [though i did have my doubts before i even got on here :)]
baptist is another branch under protestant.

Dude, so you are going to base your faith on things you've been hearing from kids and teens in an internet chat room-group thing? I mean, thats all cool, of course, and I respect that, just saying that there are more reliable resources...

It's not my problem if she figured out what I try to tell everyone makes sense. Besides, I just opened her up to different things. She went after them. She already had doubt.
Besides, we are hardly a bunch of stupid teenagers.
btw-Drinking blood, drawing crowds, eating flesh. Catholic Mass or Zombie attack? Hm? X)
i was in deep doubt, and i was confused.
Hahahahaha..... My mom was raised as a major catholic in downtown Chicago with like latin sermons and all and I was baptized but we don't go to church and I'm agnostic
my great grandparents went to church every morning lol :)

BEFORE we punish ANYONE for ANYTHING, we have to be sure that they knew there was a rule against what they were doing. There have been some recent changes to this group, and not everyone is on board yet. Now, we will kindly direct Davis to the new rule list, and Chan and Jayda can make sure he knows the new rules.
I don't think any excuses need to be made in Davis's favor. He certainly knew the group rules from the start and violated them. They are still technically the same, but they are now enforced (as they rightfully should be). But fine.Davis, we recommend you take a look at the new rules list Chandani made. We have a whole new system you might not be aware of!

Sorry to jump in. Sorry Liz, but debating is when you are trying to prove a point, not trying to make peace aand love like Lauren said.
If I find Liz's attempt at censorship unbelievable offensive can she get a strike too?
Mod
I'm only half-joking.

Haha
Koe wrote: "If I find Liz's attempt at censorship unbelievable offensive can she get a strike too?"Fine. I can even leave, if you guys want. Its not that I want us to sit in a circle and be happy together, but I think it is definitely possible to debate respectfully, where curse words are scarce and we all are polite yet still explore many topics. But you know, whatever. You guys clearly don't want that.
Look Liz you just need to understand the Greater Internet Fuckwad theory. And then learn to stop worring and love the bomb.http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/200...
Mod
I'm not sure this applies to me. I'm like this in real life.
Davis, no swearing please. You have your first strike, though i know full well that you dont care.Be as offensive as you want, just be civil, and dont swear in topics that you are not allowed to swear in. Those are the rules, and if your to much of a baby to deal with it, then go. Its not my loss, or anyone else's. BYE!
"Its not my loss, or anyone else's."Quite the contrary my friend.
You happy Liz? Your flower-power totalitarian crusade against humanity and vulgarity (they are one and the same) are beginning to take hold. You sicken, you tyrannical absolutist.
I cannot wait for the day when life greets you at the front door. You will reap what you sow from disturbing the sanctity of the profane.
Davis, i dont think any of us have anything against life. I swear, i laugh, i play and i lve my life, but in this group, i'm not swearing! Because thats the rule. And its final.
And why is it the rule? Because a few pissy little ingrates got offended?
