I keep clicking through these search results, not finding a lot of these posts you claim to have read wherein I defend the NRA.

You 'bout ready to walk that accusation back?

Religious Leaders On Same-Sex Marriage: �No One View Speaks For �Religion�� [View all] rug Apr 2015 OP

Glad to see the pushback and particularly glad that it is getting some press attention. cbayer Apr 2015 #1

Good nil desperandum Apr 2015 #2

Agree about the FRC and WBC. Birds of a feather. cbayer Apr 2015 #4

How many people are we actually talking here? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #3

The polls you cite give an indication of how many. rug Apr 2015 #5

My point is AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #6

A rather naive political point. rug Apr 2015 #7

Does na�ve mean 'accurate' in rugspeak? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #8

No. It means as uniformed and clueless as a newborn. rug Apr 2015 #9

Feel free to demonstrate how it is not the case then. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #10

No, I don't think I will. rug Apr 2015 #11

No there isn't. You just don't like the analogy. I can offer others. You'll like them less. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #12

I know you're an avid gun supporter. rug Apr 2015 #13

You don't know shit. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #14

Having read your posts, I disagree. rug Apr 2015 #15

Then you might want to work on your reading comprehension. Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #16

I was referring to knowing shit. rug Apr 2015 #18

Do you even know what the discussion is at this point? Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #21

I doubt you do. rug Apr 2015 #23

No, I do. Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #31

Frankly, gm, nothing you post confuses me. rug Apr 2015 #33

Who cares? Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #35

With that, my interest in your thoughts has dropped to less than zero. rug Apr 2015 #36

How much is enough to be counterproductive, then? Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #38

Speaking of reading comprehension, read my previous reply to you. rug Apr 2015 #44

So you don't want to answer the inital question? Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #46

I only answer someone who cares. rug Apr 2015 #59

That would be massively effective, because they would lose a revenue stream that must be AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #60

Before you determine what the mass is, you'd better know the actual revenue flo first. rug Apr 2015 #67

Pinning down the finances of even just the american arm of the RCC is notoriously difficult. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #71

Do you have an urge to waterboard? rug Apr 2015 #92

I have an urge to know the truth. Especially since it is directly relevant to your casual dismissal AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #96

I said "Bullshit", not "'money doesn't get shuffled around like that'". rug Apr 2015 #104

You said AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #106

Except it doesn't. rug Apr 2015 #108

You say that, but there are ample allegations in credible news sources that this is not the case AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #109

The question was not whether there are suspicious financial practices. rug Apr 2015 #112

I'm aware there's a common admonition not to politicize things like tithing. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #122

Since the RCC doesn't practice tithing, apparently not. rug Apr 2015 #124

Better tell these guys to get rid of that tithing application. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #125

There's nothing in there about tithing. rug Apr 2015 #126

Its there on the site. bing shows the preview. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #127

Here's a link to their tithing application. Goblinmonger Apr 2015 #128

Money flows both ways. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #57

I suggest you dig in and see exactly where the money comes from and where it goes. rug Apr 2015 #62

These numbers are incomplete, or money is being shuttled around. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #72

Hang on now. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #55

Simple. The RCC is not a one issue entity. rug Apr 2015 #56

How many issues is it, then? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #58

Quite a few, actually. rug Apr 2015 #61

If you are going to include issues like charity, then the NRA is a multiple issue AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #70

That's cheap shit, rug. Dropping an accusation like that without a scrap of evidence. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #17

I don't read facebook or have a facebook account. rug Apr 2015 #19

Define 'gun rights'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #24

You know more about the NRA definition than I do. rug Apr 2015 #25

I do not support the NRA's definition of 'gun rights'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #26

Links? Curmudgeoness Apr 2015 #20

Easy enough to do a search. Look right up there in the corner Curmudgeoness. rug Apr 2015 #22

Post 12. rug Apr 2015 #30

If you look at it through a straw and ignore all the other shit I said in that post, no. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #32

Well, then, let's see from you a "favorable data point" of the RCC. rug Apr 2015 #34

Post 24. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #37

That's a ephemism for privilege. rug Apr 2015 #45

So, excommunicated members of the church only give up privilege? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #48

Who's excommnicated? Certainly not the people in the picture. rug Apr 2015 #65

Will you champion this poor man's loss of privelige? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #50

That's a Pentecostal magzine which is, mildly, displeaed with the RCC. rug Apr 2015 #66

Archbishop Hart stated it was because he supported ordination of women. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #73

There are many Catholics and clergy who spport ordination of women who are not excommnicated. rug Apr 2015 #87

He doesn't believe he left. And I think it's interesting that the explanation there AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #91

Martin Lther went to his death believing he was still a Catholic. rug Apr 2015 #94

Yet, the story claims the dog thing wasn't him, despite your finger pointing. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #98

You're stretching the point. LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #75

It was mch more than that. rug Apr 2015 #83

The archbishop that dismissed him specified his support for the ordination of women. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #86

See 87. rug Apr 2015 #88

A point I already refuted, and used your own link to do so. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #110

I did, and you didn't. rug Apr 2015 #111

Might want to read it again. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #123

Here's a classic. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #39

Did your search find this thread? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #40

I did find this (via yor link). rug Apr 2015 #43

For 2 years, somewhere around 2002-2003. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #47

I didn't address that last sentence. Might have been below the fold on my screen at the time. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #49

Here's one, lol AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #29

I know you're an avid gun supporter. AlbertCat Apr 2015 #41

Oh look! The ad hominem attack.... rug Apr 2015 #42

I don't see anything negative in his post about me. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #51

Suggesting that your opinions on guns is an ad hominem sounds rather judgmental. rug Apr 2015 #63

a dim view of his sincerely held belief? AlbertCat Apr 2015 #54

Hit a nerve. beam me up scottie Apr 2015 #53

Read the OP or ask me. rug Apr 2015 #68

Irony meter service required. Warren Stupidity Apr 2015 #69

You definitely need something serviced. rug Apr 2015 #78

I'll bite. LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #77

Because the RCC has no authority to speak in civil legislation. rug Apr 2015 #79

It sure presumes to. It also avails itself of the courts. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #80

Then those actions are fair game. rug Apr 2015 #81

Money goes in, oppression comes out. Not sure what else to say about it. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #84

Try describing the digestive tract that way. rug Apr 2015 #90

It's only oppressive when I eat at dixies. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #97

What are the issues that resonate with you? LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #101

Virtually everything here: rug Apr 2015 #103

Would you say the hierarchy is a vestigial appendage then? LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #116

No, the orders of bishop, priest and deacon go back to the very beginning. rug Apr 2015 #117

Would you say that the tradition is important to you? LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #118

Yes, but more importantant, it's crucial to that religion. rug Apr 2015 #119

On gullibility ... LiberalAndProud Apr 2015 #120

To the extent that's valid, any perceived gllibity is in direct proportion to perceived authority. rug Apr 2015 #121

(side note) The demonstrators pictured are from Dignity USA, a GLBT coalition of Catholics. pinto Apr 2015 #27

Boy nil desperandum Apr 2015 #52

Who knew that Catholics supporting gay rights was controversial? rug Apr 2015 #64

Well, there's support, and then there's support. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #76

Ignorant bullshit. rug Apr 2015 #82

Really seems to upset you. Truth hurts, huh? AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #85

When confronted with the odor of bullshit, a rational reaction is to recoil. rug Apr 2015 #89

Odd that you can't seem to explain how it is 'bullshit'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #93

Yo haven't been following along. rug Apr 2015 #95

That's what I said when I started looking at the church's public finance disclosure. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #99

Post what you find. rug Apr 2015 #100

Um, I linked you to an economist article on the churchs' overall accounting problems. AtheistCrusader Apr 2015 #102

I'm in awe Lordquinton Apr 2015 #105

Awe does tend to overpower comprehension. rug Apr 2015 #107

you must be in a constant state of awe then. Lordquinton Apr 2015 #113

Twas you who claimed awe. rug Apr 2015 #114

nice comeback Lordquinton Apr 2015 #115
