I have yet to see you refute any one of the points put forth; all you do is refer us to your Satanichism.

As far as "love the sinner, hate the sin," I never claimed that it was in the Bible. It is not. It is merely common sense, and a phrase that is used quite often among Christians of many denominations, including Baptists. It is not exclusive to Catholics, and I thought that since you are Christian, you would have heard it before.

I have. It is not God's Word, it is human "common sense". Human sense is flawed. God is not. Whose word do YOU think I should take?

Catholics are Christians. We believe in God.

So do Jews and Islamists. Are they Christians?
Quote:
And do you believe that God tortures people in hell? I ask this out of mere curiosity because I do not know if you mistyped, if I misunderstood, or if that really is your belief. I do not believe that God, in His loving nature tortures anybody.

Of course God tortures people in Hell.
God made Hell. God created EVERYTHING, remember?
Hell is where those who do not believe, those who sin, or those who believe incorrectly (like Lutherans and Methodists) will be cast for eternal torture in the Lake of Fire as punishment for their disbelief or error.
Have you ever actually READ the Bible, or do you just believe whatever Father Feelgood tells you before he passes the plate?!
Luke 12:5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Satan has no power to cast anyone into Hell; that is God's exclusive right.
