I am sorry for the wide sweeping generalization.
For the Fundamentalist who may not agree with Catholicism or more likely do not understand certain teachings of the Church, but are still respectful and tolerant this is not for you.
I would, however, like to hear from the Fundamentalist out there who have genuene hatred in there hearts for Catholicism.
And I have seen some of your questions or more specifically answers to questions and the comments you make can be nothing other than hateful.
There are about 15,000-30,000 and growing Christian denominations in the United States alone.
Many of them with views quite contrary to yours.
Why do you not attack them.
Lutherans, Methodist, Anglicans, and Episcopalians all have religious views similar to Catholics.
Yet they are immnune to your attacks, why is this?

LOL! I loooooove your question.
It makes perfect sense and not one fundementalist dared to answer straight yet. You hit a key issue: fundementalists disagree on religious views amoung themselves, yet they each claim to be right, but we never see them standing firm on their beliefs against each other. Weird, isn't it?

As you can see from some of the answers that you're getting here, apparently some fundamentalists feel that it's perfectly OK to hate Catholics and Catholicism.
I'd like to believe that it's ignorance on their part (in the sense of not knowing something) about the Church. But even after we Catholics have explained a point of doctrine and supported it with Scripture again and again, we're told that we defy the Bible and warp its meaning. So basically, nothing we ever say or do is going to be acceptable to Catholic haters.
The only conclusion that I can come to is that people like that are blinded by the devil and have let him fill their hearts with hatred for their Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ. They claim that they are Christians, but their words and actions say otherwise.

Personally I do not hate Catholics. It sounds to me like Wolfeblayde hates Fundamentalists. But in any case, I do at times have opposite views of Catholics. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic grade and high schools and was trained as a Catholic Catechism Instructor so I do understand a great deal about Catholicism. As for my opposition to Catholic teaching and some opposing comments I make to Catholics at times; it is not because I hate them but because I have a concern for their eternal soul. If they also have a concern for mine and think I am going astray they should not hate me but show a concern by trying to point me in the right direction. I am sorry if you think my concern comes across as hatred. Let me assure you it is not the case at all. If you have the chance check out www.bereanbeacon.org it has a lot of information there about the Scriptures and the Catholic church. The man, Richard Bennett, that runs the site was a Catholic priest for 20 years with close ties to Rome and the Pope. He has a great deal of insight into this matter and the opposing views of Catholics and Fundamentalists. There is nothing more important than your soul and I urge you to honestly consider the matter and see what the berean beacon has to offer. Love In Christ.

Those that hate the Catholic Church, (the Church that Jesus Christ Himself established in 33AD) also show their hatred for Jesus Christ, when they curse and blasphemy , bear false witness and show out right hate to their brothers and sisters in Christ.
Proud to be a member of Jesus Christ's only Church, the Holy Catholic Church

I just want to allow anyone that wants to know Jesus to do so. I don't care what church they attend, because church does not get a person into heaven, only Jesus can do this. I think when you really know that you are a sinner and need Jesus, you don't want to attack anyone because of the church they attend. I don't understand hate either!

"Atheism is a fad"
Yes, not listening to ranters who don't back their words with evidence or logic is a "fad"
If people are created in the image of a divine being, how the hell are they so freaking stupid

Atheism is a fad, nothing more; nothing less. I'm not worried, their destructive behavior will take care of their so-called revolution.

I hate false gospels that lead to eternal hell. Catholicism teaches a false gospel that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1:6-9).
I love all people in God's love, and that's why I am telling the truth about the catholic lies.
