He's one bishop. There are 290 bishops. Many of them will be saints.
What does that have to do with the Eucharist? It's still valid.
Did you join another church?
Because you did indeed leave Jesus because of a Judas.
Are you religious?

I do love a remarkable conversation on faith / religion. I don't think there is a right or wrong. I'd be lying if I didn't admit to praying when I was Stuck in Sadr City. I thought I was going to die
Bubby, you’re fighting a losing battle. The organized church is fvcked. Organize the people of Christ and not the takers.
Jesus founded the Catholic Church to spread His message to the world.
One bad bishop doesn't make the Eucharist illicit.
Does that make sense?
I agree with you completely. I just try to provide a defense.
Christianity is over in this country.
You keep holding on to that theory my friend, because that’s all it is. It’s a fact you and I will go back to the earth after we’re dead. Apparently your feeble mind can’t grasp that concept, which makes perfect sense, based on your beliefs.
I’m not a Christian but I’ve learned plenty from Jesus. Teach your truth, brother, and always remember when things get bad you can shake the dirt off your sandals and walk my way.
And that's why you set your alarm at 3:30, with 50 minutes snoozesThere's no way to know for certain what's going to happen tomorrow, either.
No need for the insults. I know atheists get threatened when they're challenged by others.
I'm an ex-atheist. So is college professor Howard Storm.
I know it's comforting to believe that this life is all there is, but I and Howard know from experience there is more.
If I get back into religion, I'm going back to my roots
Martin Luther was a saint. Catholics can't handle the fact that he told the truth

Martin Luther was a proto-Nazi.
He was hardly a saint, my friend.

He also thought worshipping Jesus was blasphemous. So in his eyes you’re going to hell, bummer for you.He'll be dead soon enough.
And then the greatest mystery of all time will he revealed to him.
Also, tons of scientists believe in life after death.
The best scientist ever did: Sir Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton's life was one long search for God
From physics and alchemy to theology and eschatology, Isaac Newton’s research was rooted in a personal pursuit of the Divine.bigthink.com

He also thought he could make gold, he wasn’t all there, like most geniusesWell, he wasn't an atheist. That's for sure.
The Catholic Church was the original Mafia.
God is the leading cause of death in history.
Religion is all about money and power.
It’s a load of bullshit. There is no God. There is no Satan. The Old Testament is a book of fairy tales. The New Testament is full of fibs and exaggerations.
**** Religion.

Did you watch the video? Howard Storm also has 200 interviews on YouTube you can watch.
I was agnostic/atheist for 15 years. In August of 2016, I had a very bad experience one night. It took me months to recover from. I'm totally sane, I promise.
It's too personal to talk about.
Let's just say spiritual warfare is real.
Raised Catholic. Ex-Now. It's embarrassing to admit I was ever.
Theist, but no idea or concept of what God is.

They're both pretty peaceful these days.
I have the Nordic blood in me. So you know my god
Correct. Martin Luther inspired them with his anti-semitism.
The Nazis displayed his work at their rallies.
He was no saint.
Nazi Propaganda Depicting Martin Luther
This propaganda poster from 1933 reads, “Hitler’s fight and Luther’s teaching are the best defense for the German people.”
Well yes. No doubt that he did. I still claim he was black. But that doesn't mean immaculate conception or resurrection happened.
But you do you. Believe. I just can't
I didn’t watch, and I won’t. If it’s about near death experiences, well, the body and brain can do some crazy things when they are going through shock. I’m sure there are people who have experienced some crazy shit, it doesn’t mean it was real though.Did you watch the video? Howard Storm also has 200 interviews on YouTube you can watch.

Luther didn't go far enough. Not only do you not need the Catholic Church, you don't need organized religion at all.
How can you know for sure if it didn't happen to you?
When you left the Catholic Church because of one bad bishop, did you join another one?
Correct. Martin Luther inspired them with his anti-semitism.

Well, we might tango here. @goldmom might have to interrupt us for some cha cha cha. Luther pointed out all the fallacies of the catholic church
I’m not saying he didn’t. I’m saying there are a lot of exaggerations as to what happened at times. Do you really think he turned water into wine and Mary was a virgin when she gave birth?
That's not what Jesus said.
We do need a church.

I have been an atheist most of my life. I truly believe religion and the belief in any god is one of the top destructive forces in our evolution. Just got done not long ago teaching at a lutheran school. Kept my mouth shut for ten years.
Yes.
Jesus's miracles are so well attested to historically that it would be odd if they were just made up.
Luther could have stayed and made reforms.
Instead, he left and invented his own theology (Sola Scriptura) which is self refuting.
Also, Luther wouldn't want his followers called "Lutherans." He would shudder at that.
Regardless, Lutherans are still my brothers and sisters in Christ.
