:blink: You didn't just say that, did you??
Catholics are pagans?!!!!? Surely you didn't mean to say this. Do you know what the word "pagan" means? See here; Paganism - Wikipedia
Is this at all familiar to you?
quote:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The Nicene Creed (as used currently every Mass at my local RC church), check out this page, English versions of the Nicene Creed - Wikipedia
Now how many pagan religions do you know of that use this as their basis of faith? I'm sorry, this may be at a tangent from the topic, but Possessor is basing his opinion of polygamy on complete ignorance of Christianity, evidenced by his statement that Catholicism is a pagan religion, unlike the Christianity of the good ol' US of A, "One Nation Under God (but only since 1954)" variety. A refutation of this ridiculous statement is on topic and very necessary.

That is one of the most honest, refreshing and pleasant replies I've ever seen on here. Thank you Possessor, there's nothing to forgive.
