[An Slanaitheoir]

well then it was the diciples then i guess or the catholics because thats where protestantism comes from right? idk somewhere at sometime with someone

...

Do you know anything about Church history?

Depends, I am sure that the Church history that I think is right is different from he Church history that you think is right.

[BoudreauxLand]

Apparently not, if he doesn't know about the Reformation.

*points at IshCong, looking at Catholic guy*

"See, even the atheist knows that!"

*looks back at Isn while keeping finger raised*

"You are an atheist, right?"

Agnostic atheist, yes. Raised Catholic, however, so... hehehehe.

protestants do come from the catholic church kinda they broke away the lutheran who didnt take indulgences the king of england forming a new church ect ect

Erm...

Pretty sure Luther started the Protestant Reformation....

And he was Catholic...


*waits for logic to come into play*


















*remembers this is NSG*

Yes, Protestantism came from Catholicism. But indulgences was not the only heresy Luther was concerned with.

Started with luther's 95 theses and went from there.

I was referring to the guy that can't capitalize words or punctuate sentences.

I'm pretty sure you're a good Catholic.

They came from the Catholic Church only insofar as a bunch of Christians got so upset at the Catholic Church, they turned against it and wound up fighting with the Catholics.
That's rather...disingenuous phrasing there.

[Arborlawn]

Glad I'm a Jew.

None of this nonsense.

Don't agnostic and atheist contradict each other?

Hey, rough, but maybe he understands it like that.

Nope. What makes you think that they would?

Which nonsense do you refer to? The Reformation?

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Nope. What makes you think that they would?

I had always though agnostic meant "we can never know if there is a God" and atheist meant "there is no God."

I'm pretty sure you're a good Catholic.

Thank for that, but I consider myself to be a bad Catholic.

I keep being unorthodox...

Agnostic means you cannot know if there is a god, whereas atheism rejects belief in a god.
I do not know whether god exists or not, for a certainty, though I do find it unlikely, and do not believe god exists. Thus, agnostic atheism.
Gnostic atheism would be stating that there is no god, and you can know and show it.

There are also agnostic theists, and, of course, gnostic theists.

I think its he believes there is no God, but doesn't know for sure.

I think its he believes there is no God, but doesn't know for sure.

Rather, I feel the concept of god's existence or non-existence is unknowable.

I suppose that makes sense...

In a way...

So, you're like Dawkins?

[An Slanaitheoir]

There are good people, but the good Catholics are in Heaven. If you consider yourself holy, then you probably are not because of being humble and all.

Dawkins is a bit more...gnostic, last I checked. Least, that was always my take on the man.

Wait...

You're not one of those that believe only Catholics can go to heaven, are you?
