Here’s a better way to spend your time.

Jesus says it’s better to be hot or cold than to be lukewarm, but it doesn’t mean being hot or cold in any way is ok. I think we get i here to learn, then we get passionate and probably spend less time praying than writing here. Thus, I think we start working off our dim lights and not grace. I think we mean well, conservative or liberal (you can be a too sensitive member of the clothes police, “That jeans wearing impious jerk!”, or judgmentalism police, “I can’t believe that pharisee says wearing sleeveless blouses is wrong–what a soul-judger!”, without being heretical). The liberals laugh and judge us, sometimes rightfully when we misbehave here, and maybe not as lukewarmly as they imagine themselves (as they keep thinking the organized religious are the ones shoving beliefs down kids’ throats and getting huffy if a practicing Christian has a differing opinion–after all, why should the “open-minded” care if there is a differing opinion?) .
In fact, this is more a place for the common people than the big news machines and other places of liberal atheist (and practically atheistic, non-practicers) domination. The atheists shove their beliefs down our throats in polite society places while we have to shut-up and be “polite” by not expressing our views. They shove their beliefs down our kids’ throats in public schools, and all-too-often, even various Christian schools, and we have to accept because it’s separation of church (mostly intended for the Catholic Church, but including any meaningful practice of Christianity) and state (religion of modernism or even some earth-worship). Liberal Christians usually open the door for atheists, but I admit, conservative Christians’ overweight on faith over charity can aggravate the affliction of liberal Christians’ ignorance of faith’s part in informing charity and thus they pay prefer relaxing the standards which allow laxity into our families, schools and parishes/congregations. That creates a backlash where, ironically, the damages of liberalism invite fascism which, if not using traditional Christian values, continues the abuses of the previous liberal errors (see Weinmar Republic and its election of the leaders of and transformation into the Nazi regime).
People who care about what’s right make mistakes in their passion. I think it’s mostly they who get things heated up here. It’s fallen human nature. We need the Church to lead us.
Others who care are quiet and pray for us all, so I’m not saying those who don’t care don’t post on forums. Maybe the raving atheist or Protestant could become the next St. Paul. Due to caring about truth (though that idea could be tainted by ungodly desires), even if they believe the truth is that there is no objective truth, their “friends” who, for some reason, don’t have the grace or do not respond to the same grace, will probably abandon them and discredit them. I think those of us who are truly not being charitable (and ones spreading wrong teachings about the Church and/or the Bible, who know better or should know better) better get the graces by praying, which may bring the grace to pray for the grace of more charity, faith, etc., though as being hot or cold in caring about the truth does not excuse us from at least Purgatory.
If the leaders go screwy, we still have dogma in the various approved Catechisms and the Church Fathers and saints’ writings that were given the approved stamp as free of errors. Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Christ has risen and gave us the Roman Catholic Church (which includes the other obedient rites) as his infallible bride, his mother as our Queen and holy brothers and sisters–both to guide us in true Faith Hope and Charity n the true Church if we only pray for their assistance (well, the Church is always there) and use it (this pertains more to all 3 helps)!
Same old same old.
