He was an atheist. In all charity, not someone a faithful Catholic should follow or even take the time to read.

God didn’t put any timelines on right and wrong. We can’t physically live in a different time period but we can bring what good was there forward to our time.

Now you are being funny. I have contacts in Hollywood. I understand storytelling. As part of my job, I monitor so-called pop culture 5 days a week. I have to digest this information and present it to my employer. Both of us are highly knowledgeable about film genres.

The current rot in comic books, TV and movies is the worst I’ve ever seen. Had the Catholic Church not stepped in in the 1930s, I cringe about what Hollywood might have done regarding public morals. The Catholic Legion of Decency, later, National Legion of Decency, was formed to combat the perverted mess Hollywood had become.

What the…? What is it with these faux credentials?

Apparently you write sci fi, you are an expert researcher, no-one knows the fifties, the Vietnam war, pop culture and pre-war Germany like you, you have contacts in Hollywood, you are an expert on radiometric dating and know more about the atheist agenda, Marxism, feminism, popular medium and the general Fall and Decline of Twentieth Century Morals than anyone living.

Gee. Why am I still not convinced by anything you post.

(sarcasm on/) Yeah. I seriously suggest that you should only read that which confirms your existing beliefs. (sarcasm off/).

Your bias is showing. Radical feminists gave women utopia?

How about we just talk about feminists. Imagine if you will if we had a discussion about the Church, and I kept bringing up SSPX at every turn.

So, my faith has been a journey. I have in the past listened to and read from those that did not conform to the Catholic church. After a time I found I was living without following God. It was not good, nothing to go back to, so yes, and again in all charity, it is better to read from the saints and draw closer to God than read from those who choose to draw away from God and thus be led astray.

God bless.

Didn’t that give you a comparison with the Catholic church? Didn’t it allow you to make those comparisons? Didn’t it allow you to honestly question your beliefs? Didn’t it lead you to a better understanding of those who do not hold your beliefs? Did it not, because of all those reasons, strengthen your faith?

So wasn’t it a good thing?
 
I guess I’m from the “tell all, reveal nothing” school 🙂

Or something…

I can look back now and know a complete and total difference but nothing at that time strengthened my faith but only led me deeper into darkness. It was God who brought me out of the darkness and into the light of truth.

If someone is searching, such as yourself as an atheist, then yes it is good to compare but once you know the Truth of God, then you need to work to draw closer to Him.
 
Very well said. I’ve read a lot of non-Catholic material and ended up with the understanding that the Church holds the truth.

There’s an Aussie programme called Q and A. A panel discussion. Call it a forum if you like. There was a politician on one week about a year back. I can’t remember the exact question the politican was asked but it was in reference to his religious beliefs. His fundamental religious beliefs. It was more a hypothetical question which was going to lead into a topic. Such as: ‘Ed, you believe X don’t you’. It wasn’t even a question. It was a statement about that which he honestly believed and which everyone knew he believed.

He refused to answer.

He was quite happy to discuss his beliefs with others who also held them. But he backed down when asked publicly. He didn’t have the courage of his convictions.

It is too bad that man couldn’t answer but he doesn’t represent everyone. He may have had his reasons.

I have no problem discussing different beliefs, it happens frequently, but it is something else to read and study another’s beliefs, especially if those are contrary to the Truth and there are soooo many good saints who have written so much to draw me closer to God and then there is Scripture and Tradition. I guess I just have to choose how I spend the time God gives me.
