I understand that is not the textbook definition... It's just the one applied by most! I hate the fact that the vast majority of "Christians" Choose to break the 3rd Commandment... thou shalt no take the name of the Lord thy God in vain! The vast majority of "Christians" think this only refers to cursing. They have no idea the damage done by the false witness towards true Christianity. God bless and have a happy new year

Well... I commend you for that! If half of the people in the world would pull they're heads out and at least see the obvious truths that surrounds them... we would all be in a better place, but I am sorry to say... I'm not holding my breath! ; )

I know Christians like to make up their own truths, and your perfectly allowed to do that.. However with textbook definitions it doesn't work like that.

Videos with religious content I watch them because religious people make up a great segment of our civilization and I have many friends who are religious in some way or the other, were I to turn my back on that, it would be like sticking my head into the sand and pretend it does not exist. I rather confront the issue than walk away from it.

Christian is only used generically by idiots that don't know what is truly of God and not.... therefore your use of it! A Christian is one who does as Christ did. The Pope does everything that is anti-Christian! Your fairytale comment says it all... why do you even watch videos that have any religious content? Go troll the atheist videos so you can see how your ancestors crawled out of the primordial ooze!

"Defending" the pope by saying he is a Christian?

It's really simple in the textbook definition of the word the pope is a Christian just like you have your little interpretation of the biblical fairytale so does the pope. It is not a theological matter subject to interpretation, Christian is a generic label applicable to Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Protestants, Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many, many more.

Amen, Barry!

[medicolas]

To fulfill the prophecies of the Bible! The RCC is the whore that rides the beast! The Poop is the 1st beast spoken of by Daniel the prophet! The Vatican embodies the spirit of anti-Christ! That should get you started with a few things they are good for! God bless and don't worry, the beast and the whore will be destroyed!

[medicolas]

I think you should study the religion a bit more before defending the Poop. Everything the RCC does is in direct opposition to what the Bible teaches. Everything they do is an abomination to God. Mary worship, ancestor worship, Idol worship, they changed God's times of the day(the evening and the morning were the first day, not midnight to midnight), they changed the everlasting commandments of God... would you like for me to go on!? The Papacy is the first beast spoken of by Daniel the prophet!

[Kerkopes]

If the butler felt that the Vatican was corrupt, he should refuse the pardon. It's the honorable thing to do.

Besides, the Ambrosiano banck, licio gelli,michele sidona,roberto calvi.where all good christians .
