my brother, u dont have a point at all. if thats it, den y do u call catholics, winners etc. when u want to talk about things u believe catholics are wrong at, u wil often say "catholics blieve in images, mary" etc ,y snot say" xtians blieve in images mary etc.
its clear that u guys are ashamed to name ur church because u dont know where u stand so ur not sure of ur church because in d first place its not even supposed to be called a church. u bliev dat jesus founded only one church but cannot identify it but we the catholics know that we are in that church founded by jesus dats y we are not ashamed to talk about it.

Sorry to be rude but when you grow up and can write better, try again and maybe I will reply.

Different strokes for different folks.

Everyone isnt the same and dont have to be clones of one another.

There are catholics who dont publicly identify their church either, not because they are ashamed but simply because they dont feel a need to.

Nairaland is not a gulag and nobody should feel they have to force others to be like them.

What has identifying your church got to do with somebody's presence here, are you looking for disciples? Besides, doesnt the grapevine aka gossipline take care of all that anyway.

Not to sound biased..but here on nairaland I think Catholics are more forthright in identifying with the Church than any other group even though we undergo the most and worst attacks.

The others hardly ever want to mention where they go for Sunday service.

I think it boils down to hypocrisy.

They criticize us even when they know we are better than them.

When you play poker, do you reveal your hand all at once? No!

The same applies to public forum, which is an avenue for people to blow off steam and escapes momentarily from the real world. Some people on the other hand tend to take it serious by revealing their hands[identity] and subsequently getting mocked for their troubles.

I'm a Christian, but there is no way I'm telling anyone in this forum or any forum for that matter, which church I belonged to. And it's not for fear of Stigma either but rather for flexibility reasons.

Okay...so your words are not to be taken seriously...

In the Bible, "the Church" is "the Church of Christ" aka "the Christian Church".

There is nothing like denomination or "Roman Catholic Church" or "Cutlass sharp sharp ministry".

If some people say the "Catholic Church" or "Roman Catholic Church" is different from the Christian Church or the Church of Christ - which may even consist in a particular place of just two or three gathered in Jesus' name - then they would be the ones marking themselves out as not being Christians.

Still no excuse for the thread title and besides, you should face your attackers squarely instead of generalizing.

I've noticed frosbel criticizing catholic doctrine, same way he does to every other doctrine, and he says he's not affiliated with any church.

The atheists ( most of who are catholic) attacking catholics and churches in general, would not have a church, i assume.

Many of the Atheists are even far more honest than these hypocrites.

The hypocrites arent ashamed of Jesus because he is divine...despite the insults they get from Atheists.

Why then are they ashamed of their "churches?"

Because it is man-made.

Most atheists catholics? Can an atheist be a catholic? I believe you wanted to say former catholics.I wonder why you can to such conclusiion.Do you have the data

What data?

If you feel they're not catholic, then correct them when they say they are.

You're just trying to witch hunt, thats all.

Same tactics the atheists use.

Projection too.

The section is dead anyway, you folks can have it to yourselves as far as i'm concerned, its been long gone.

You make me laugh.

We are the ones being witch-hunted by everyone.

Look at all the threads by non'Catholics against Catholics and see how Catholics hardly ever open threads to castigate other creeds.

You made the claim the onus is on you to substantiate it not me.

I have never seen an Atheist that says "I'm Catholic."

Can you mention a name?

most or many of them say they're catholic or ex-catholic, doesnt matter.

someone even had to ask this question here:

https://www.nairaland.com/1136150/why-atheist-mainly-excatholics

tpia@:

It matters. It's unfair to tell a lie in public...and your neither have evidence for what you said nor the decency to recant the statement.

Thats the problem with this country. We blame politicians but even you seem to have mastered the art of telling blatant lies to the public.

Integrity has flown out the window.

I repeat. I have never seen an Atheist that says "I'm Catholic." Can you give us ONE name out of the "most" you know?

i wonder why you're getting upset when the people you opened this thread to attack, arent, even though your intent is to aggravate them.

check the post history of the most vocal atheists here, i already gave you a link which you refused to open, maybe you're afraid to ask them directly?

I opened the threads and didnt find any atheist that said "I'm Catholic."

YOU LIED!
