The Bible condemns non believers of their faith in the worst terms (Psalms 14:1,John 3:16,John 3:18,John 3:36, Mark 6:15,Mark 16:16,Revelation Ch. 21:8) thereby setting billions of people as marked and condemned, besides being totally un objective, is it fair? is any justice, divine or human served?

Your question has an error. It should read:

Calvinism condemns non believers of their own faith, is it fair?

The opposite is true. Catholicism DOES NOT CONDEMN ANYONE for their faith.

In fact, I will send anyone $100,000 if they can produce any official Catholic document over a 2000 period that instructs any Catholic to condemn another person for their faith.

It is a hateful lie.

You have no idea what you are saying.

Catholicism does no such thing.

The Catholic Church teaches that certain things are sinful, and depending on the particular circumstances, some sins may result in one losing God's sanctifying grace, and becoming separated from him.

The only one who judges this is Jesus Christ himself, while the church is always ready to help repair any rift.

If you think scripture condemns, than state your own opinion on the matter, but don't misrepresent Catholic Church teachings to suit your own purposes.

Why are you picking on Catholics? You've cited passages from the bible. It is highly unlikely that a Catholic doesn't believe in God or are you talking about ex-Catholics? All Christians believe that in order to be saved one must believe in God and be sorry for ones sins. The Catholic church respects all Christian churches & does not believe that non-Catholics will go to hell.

However, people who have lost their faith because they did not take care of it, are condemned.

I'm learning a lot about my church from answering these religious questions. Thank you.

i have been a catholic all my life and i know that the church does not condemn non-believers outside of the faith. but ignorant people do and is not part of the doctrine of the catholic church. maybe a priest could explain this further but as a lay catholic we do not have that right to condemn anyone.

I have no situation with the term atheist. yet once you opt to be extra precise, call me an atheist/humanist. that's, i don't have faith in God, yet I do have faith interior the human spirit/soul. I see very numerous distinction between non-believer and non-faith, or no faith. ideals may well be in accordance with sturdy evidence. faith is many times perception interior the absence of evidence, or maybe interior the face of evidence to the choice. I honestly have ideals, yet no longer faith. i'm additionally approximately 60/40 on the project of reincarnation.

think about the question. If catholicism condems "non-believers" then those "non-believers" are obviously not of the catholic faith. Not that I'm defending catholicism--trust me, I'm not. Just pointing out that you might want to rephrase the question.

Nothing about religion is FAIR. Nothing about it is balanced or logical at all. Religion is man-made dogma created to control the masses through fear. Live your own truth, create your own sense of fairness. Don't rely on religion or anyone else to provide it.

Non-believers condemn themselves.

In centuries past, that indeed was what Catholics believed. But, not now. In fact, official church teaching is NOT what you suggest. Your facts are wrong.
