Cornhole. You’re right. No idol worship by Catholics, err, just paying respect to dead people statues. That’s it. Like I said, you can sugar coat abortion to sound righteous and good. Call it what you want, this is idol worship. Not judging, it’s not my problem, it’s just something I never really understood.
In HS my sister’s best friend for years was a die hard Catholic who wanted to be a nun, until she accidentally walked in on me getting out of the shower butt naked. Then she changed her mind. That bathroom had no lock on it so it was meant to be, ey. But she was a really Christian. She didn’t pray to any images of statues. She prayed to God so I guess not all Catholics believe the same thing. It’s 1.6 billion people, it’s understandable. But the pope doesn’t discourage this. None have that that I’ve hear of. And that’s blasphemy and a grave sin, worse than murder.
My best friend was Peter Martinez a Philippine fresh off the boat also catholic. We were friends until I moved. So I’m not anti catholic, I wish Baptists were more like them but these things, these practices are, I believe, hellbound actions. And Baptists suffer from a couple serious issues that could also cost you your soul. That’s why I can’t call myself any religion, just Christian and a poor one at that. To each his own, pray for the Truth and God will guide you if you’re sincere. That’s a guarantee. That’s what I did and I saw the flaws with Baptists which I never saw or heard of. I told God I just wanted the absolute Truth and I didn’t care what it was. And He gave me that. Trust God, He’s your father and teacher not mortals.
Now set apocalipsa free, he has work to do soon, nothing with feds, he reaches 100x bigger people and more people on Twitter. But bitcointalk is where clowns come read up on a coin before they buy or sell to see what’s going on. Might need Vlad2Vlad a get out of prison card but not now, and only for a month or two for the same reason. Everybody knows Vlad and that’s important. No harassing bitcointalk or feds, just taking care of ixc biznis.
Thanks. Maggots.

Stop being a moron please and understand that catholics don't worship statues when they pray in front of them.A statue is a simple focal point or marker the same way you have a tombstone on someones grave where you pray to them.
Also orthodox catholics find abortion,liberalism,modernism,wokeism,gay marriage,adultery,sex outside marriage,malicious lies,slander,theft,murder,rape to be abominations against God so your attacks on these peoples religion is uncalled for.NO catholic unless they are a fraudulent one or an infiltrator trying to bring the faith into disrepute disobeys Gods laws and if a genuine catholic does this they are faith bound to confess grave matters to seek absolution or they risk judgement and death in a state outside grace and even after confession of these matters they are not excused from consequences of their actions in most cases.
In actual fact if everyone lived like an orthodox catholic is supposed to then there would be no need for police because crime would not exist and there would be no issues with society because everybody would be married and children would have 2 parents and widows and orphans would be taken care of while there would be no adultery to wreck homes and everyone would be treated with dignity.
Once again for those in the back row.Catholics do NOT worship popes,bishops,priests or inanimate objects and only someone who is not knowledgeable on catheism or theology would come to these conclusions.
My advice to you and your friends above is to convert to catholic faith and go see a priest for a general confession before it is too late for you or better still book in for an exorcism because you sound like you have some serious venom inside you and it may not all be a righteous anger like you seem to think it is.A hateful tongue sows discord and has no place in Gods kingdom.A mouth unguarded is like an open tomb ;-)
Ps: "Judge not lest you be judged" "remove the plank from your own eye before you look at the speck in anothers eye" "let he who is without sin be the one to cast the first stone" "all men have been weighed and have been found wanting"
Why is the focal point a statue and not God? Call it what you want like my body my choice sounds so nice. That’s idol worship. Worship away, it’s not my soul. I was merely trying to understand why Catholics do that cause they seem to be good Christians. Then again Mormons seem to be ideal Christians yet they’re a cult. I find that tragic too cause they’re a very good example of Christians.
PS: John 7:24 KJVS [24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
There’s also a verse that says if you judge don’t be a hypocrite. Which most Christians. I’m not, I confess my evil deeds to all who know me and I repent from them.
Do you know what it means to remove the plank out of your eye before you judge others? I’ll bet you don’t know, neither does your local priest for it took me years of praying and asking before I understood it. The typical answer you get in church is not correct. So tell me if you know the Bible better.
That’s what I thought. Reading the Bible and memorizing it one thing, understanding it is something else.
The answer you know about the plank is what everyone preaches, which is: first look at your flaws and fix your flaws before you judge others. Sounds very good on the surface and it’s in part true but it’s not the real meaning of that Verse. I saw the answer when I saw it with my own eyes. And there’s a verse to back it up.

Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Do you understand what that means? When I was younger and oh a flawless Christian obeying all God’s laws, I was literally the best Christian by far than anyone I knew. No one was more self controlled, dedicated to finding God although I didn’t yet at the time how you search for him, every church gives the wrong answer for that too.
But I didn’t know my own heart until I asked to see it. I looked around and found no Christian better than me. I was judgmental in a cruel not loving way, because I didn’t understand why christians did the sins they did. I didn’t rebuke them out of love but anger and looking down on them.
When God showed me who I was, what I was, something drastic changed. I looked at even pagans and atheists and every Christian I met and I literally saw them as better Christians than me. When I rebuked someone it was from heart ache for them because I saw their pain and where they were headed, not once cause I thought I was better.
That’s when you know the plank from your eye is gone. When you honestly see yourself lower than all other Christians which is almost impossible to do, it takes God changing your heart and opening your eyes to what evil you’re really capable of.
You’ll never hear this answer in any church. The pope doesn’t know this answer. If he did he wouldn’t dress like he does and drive a lambo or allow anyone to bow before him.
You’re welcome - took years of pain to learn this answer I had for years. Most pastors never experience that kind of suffering let alone ask for it, so that they may see and understand.
God bless and may He show you His Absolute Truth. That’s all that matters, His Truth, not denominations or our version of truth or the pope’s version. There are infinite versions of truth but only one is Absolute.
