Clark the question isn't about standing up to scripture or what you've decided that to be.
2nd question for you if Catholics correct non-catholics and advise a thousand times over that the Catholic Church doesn't teach Mary is God or that they worship Mary as God do you still think they do and continue to argue "why to Catholics worship Mary and yet the bible says........"

brother Servant (and I do mean that), the problem is right in front of you. You are rarely questioning authentic Catholicism or it's teaching but doing one of 2 things
1. questioning what you think it to be.
2. or not questioning it at all.
btw is anti-semitism bigotted behavior or a racist behavior or partially both? If we don't allow anti-semitism why do we allow anti-catholic behavior or literiture in our society?
99.9 percent of anti-catholic writing is easliy bigotted and I would say that say using bigot in this defining this is actually the lightest verb-age available.
bigot : a person with prejudiced views who does not tolerate the opinions of others.

i might take that question more seriously if you left off the bigot insult part
you seem to think anyone that has questions about the Catholic faith is anti-Catholic and I guess therefore a bigot as well - sure there are some haters but all of us Protestants aren't haters
I dont hate you Pastor Billy and I dont hate the Catholic faith but I do question it and I am allowed to do that as long as i'm not insulting people like calling them bigots
whatever though - I'm sure you'll just come back with some more mean spirited remarks to put me in my Protestant place and you will feel all better
wow - that almost sounds like a break through - have a Catholic and a Protestant become, dare I say it, friendly on Y/A - like OMG
I think the word bigot - although that might be the definition is a loaded word and might stir up some feelings that maybe you dont mean it to be -
anti-catholic literature - if the overall tone is hate then yeah its not a good thing but again all Protestant literature about Catholics are not all hate - at least in my own collection I have a few that point out the differences but also point out the similarities and so you know I dont have any of that kind of hate books you were refering to
but for questioning - I hope I try to do more of the first one which is really the only place someone can start - if you have an idea about something but are not sure or only have part of it then your questioning has to start from "what you think it to be" otherwise how do you even formulate a question
your point about the worshiping Mary question - I did ask that one a while ago and got the same answer you just said but how do I know that until I ask it and now I know so I wont ask it again - instead I ask other things that I might have a little bit of information about
anyway thanks - God Bless

It confounds me that Christians who are thus called because they are supposed to be Christlike blatantly judge each other left, right and centre. Did Jesus not declair that a dangerous way to carry on... "let him who is without sin cast the first stone". What bible do people read? Be reminded that it shall go very badly for him that causes his brother to stumble. It is cleary stated in the bible.

How can you recognize "Bigot"? Your other writings indicate that bigots does bother you.
The source of Christian belief and philosophy is the Bible and is not in any man-made Cathecism. Is that Bigot to you?

No, you're doing just fine. Sometimes being abrasive is the only way to get through to them.

Anti-catholic bigot??? Is there really such a thing?

No, not at all. Sometimes it takes abrasive language to get through people's thick, arrogant, and smug skulls.
