Came across another response video. It's low-tech, more of a discussion, but it's still pretty good

[/quote] Yeah, Thanks for posting this video. I heard on the Catholic Answers radio show that they were coming out with one. I tried but couldn't find it. I Mother Miriam of the lamb of God

!!! That IS Mother Miriam!

Ha, I can never recognize her now that she's taken the habit! I've always liked her -- she tells it like it is and I'm really glad to see she helped out.

Hooray for strong, faithful women of the Church.

Reading comments to youtube videos is a bad idea. I know it is hard not to do, but honestly, it is an invitation for haters to post their hate. I've tried debating with people on there and such people are not open to dialogue. Don't feed the trolls.

That is weird.

What really bugs me is that when you search for "Why I hate Religion" the video doesn't come up at the top anymore, for no reason. The numbers are still climbing, nothing has been changed in the tags or the title. Sounds like a C O N spiracy..... ha.

So the video received 32,000 views yesterday. The Muslim version received 39,000 yesterday. We have so many Catholics in this country, I just don't get it.

Maybe because a lot of Christians (Catholics included) are curious about the Muslim response. Also there are a lot of Catholic responses that are probably splitting the number of views.

That's because many Catholic and Protestant churches are dead spiritually. It is time for all Christians to reunite and become
spiritually alive again! My pastor always says the first step is to attend church (find one that is you enjoy attending regardless if it is Catholic or Protestant), the next step is to read the Bible daily and third is daily prayers. Wake up folks! You are losing your youth
to the secular world where Christianity is mocked!

Mainly picking on the bit that I highlighted, but I think this is a very dangerous notion. Religion is about centering your life on God, not on your own personal enjoyment.

Yus. I watched it yesterday out of curiosity. I found the sound editing to be pretty grating when it was trying to be dramatic.

Things I don't get, when a Muslim tries to use the Bible to prove Christ isn't divine. Like when he criticized Christians for being up in the church drinking wine, when in fact there are many places in the Gospels where Jesus drinks wine or at least provides wine to people. Idgi. This type of apologetics seem very problematic.

Thank you for correcting me. Personal relationship with God (not enjoy)

You ommitted that it is also necessary to practice what you read and pray for. 'Just knowing the path is not enough Neo, you must also walk it.' Faith equals salvation, salvation equals good works. You seem as though you are only half way there.
By the bold part[u] you[/u] are admitting defeat. Jesus is alive and thriving!
