They have more babies than cats?
Cats are atheists.
What had occurred at other times in US history? Catholic immigration or complaining about it?
And they’re bad for couches, all that shedding and scratching
Ha, yes, complaining.
Are you sure? The immigrants we were complaining about were ALL Catholic. Italians, Irish, Poles. Irish couldn’t assimilate, blah blah blah.
Now no one cares and Islam is the new boogie man.
Cats aren’t atheists. Atheist is someone who does not believe in a divine being. Cats believe they are divine, and so not atheist.
Some do, but I don’t think Americans tend to do this, in general.
Believing in God requires mental abstraction, which only humans can do.
Well, here’s an example
I know this is a temp thread, but for the love of our Lord Jesus Chrit, can we please fix the title?
And cute
I was talking present tense. You’re talking of the past. Wild different worlds, so I don’t understand your point. Besides, not many of those wars were religious wars.
Sure. I didn’t clarify it, but of course I wasn’t trying to imply that this is a general thinking.
So they were anti-Catholic immigrants, just not openly?
What denomination was Christ?
Anyone know?
Jewish.
Was Jesus a Jew? Of course, Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues. He preached from Jewish text, from the Bible. He celebrated the Jewish festivals. He went on pilgrimage to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where he was under the authority of priests… He lived, was born, lived, died, taught as a Jew.
In my view, while there is much merit and wisdom in this discussion… you are overcomplicating several issues…
For Millenia, The Most High has been sending messengers to this wretched world.
The prophets spake thus:
1 - Be kind to each other.
2 - Wash regularly.
3 - Be nice to animals and plants.
Now, whom among us even keeps those three, very fair and reasonable suggestions all the time, let alone the Ten Commandments?

Do you have many quotes from scripture where Jesus claimed to be of the Jewish denomination? Can you support your claim with direct, unannotated quotes?
Jesus claimed to be the Jewish Messiah.
Matthew 2:
The Magi Visit the Messiah
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.
5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written.
Luke 23.3
Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Yes, what you say is true.”
