God created us long before we even had the capability to imagine Him. His magic preceded the occultic majik of the mystery religions.

Tangle, every thing that you wrote is true, or moving in
that direction. But, the Holy Bible recorded the same propheciescenturies ago. You are merely asserting, an truthfully I might add, what the Bible says is a great falling away. I could cite dozens of examples where the Holy Biblestates this, but here are just a few. 2 Thessolonians 2:32 Timothy 3:entire chapter Matthew 24: Satan's deception becomes so great that even God'select could be deceived if God did not keep them focused. Matthew 24:24.

Dredge, I know where the true Church is. But, I am nor
trying to recruit anyone to it. God will recruit whom He will. I suggest that anyone seeking God to seek Him with alltheir heart. That they pray to Him and Him only. Be like the Bereans; they searched the scriptures daily tosee if what they were hearing was Biblically true.

Yoda notwithstanding, this 30 second short may sum up one argument. ( Thanks to the Cosmic Skeptic)

No, you don't. Your phantasmagorical "church" exists only in your mind ... and is as far from the Church described in Acts as east is from west. Your nothing "church" has only one member - you.
I know where the true Church is

So, given your quote, isn't it time you stopped making atheist scientists your bogeyman?

Tangle, you will never hear me say that I fear anything.
I love God. And, I agree with His purpose. I also agreewith the method He's employing to bring it to fruition. It is impossible to have God in one's life and still begoverned by fear. You're barking up the wrong tree.

Dredge, who gave the RCC the authority to replace God's
7th Day Sabbath with Sunday? Who gave the RCC the authority to abolish the 2ndCommandment? The 2nd Commandment states: "Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, orany likeness of any thing that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:" "Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor servethem:..." The RCC is filled to the brim with statues and idol. TheRCC bows down to these idols. The RCC also worships relics (bones and bone fragments).How is this different than, say, voodoo?

Catholics don't worship statues and idols. Only superstitious pagans would be stupid enough to worship a statue. The RCC is filled to the brim with statues and idol. TheRCC bows down to these idols. Bowing down doesn't always equal worship. There is enty of bowing down in the Bible that isn't worship.

"And God did extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them" (Acts 19:11-22). Just substitute "handkerchiefs or aprons" with "the relics/bones of saints" and you might start to understand Catholics value the relics and bones of saints. God can perform miracles even through inanimate objects ... so says your Bible.

I don't know much about voodoo.

The line between veneration and worship is very narrow, if not nonexistent.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
