I've read articles in the past about fundamentalists handing out pamphlets on jewish hollidays, trying to convert them. I've also seen an article on fundamentalists doing the same thing trying to convert hindus. But this has got to take the cake.

Fundamentalists plan to evangelize Catholics!!

Ummm.. how will that go?

"Accept Christ as your savior!!"

"But I already do. Come into the church and we shall help you understand Jesus."

Put them togeather in a ring and see who truly is holier than thou.

Hoo boy!!

I had to take a second look to be sure that Landover Baptist wasn't involved in this.

I very much doubt that the good revs will find many converts but I'd love to watch them try. Hope we can get some updates on this.

I myself, am a member of The Church of the Dessicated Cockroach. We believe that the afterlife is spent in a paradise under the bathroom sink, which makes about as much sense as any of it.

Ach sure, that's only new here in the States. Back home in Ireland the Prots have been trying to convert the Catholics for years.
They've been trying to convert them from live Catholics into dead ones.

Oooooooo. How about making it a no-holds-barred cage match.

In this corner, wearing the white and black trunks, less popular than the Beatles, the pontiff of peace, The Pooooooooooooooope!

In this corner, wearing a white jumpsuit, slayer of Tinky Winky, enemy of freethinkers everywhere, the mouth from the South, Jerry Fallllllllllwelllllllllll!


Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!

Bwahaha!

I'm betting on the Pope, now there is one suave mofo when he's out of the ring.

"If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in
thought or deed, I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which
never yet hurt anybody."- Marcus Aurelius

From the article:

quote:
"To Open Their Eyes: Compassionately Presenting Biblical Salvation to Roman Catholic People."


That's the name of the conference the fundies were calling to "convert" the Catholics. How much you wanna bet they thought the Catholics were Romans?

quote:
One of the chief reasons that percentage is not higher is that Christians are divided against themselves with such acrimony that it gives a scandal to those who don't share our faith. They naturally wonder 'Why should we give this a hearing when you people can't decide what your own religion means?'" [Father Jay Scott Newman]


The one time someone actually gets this right...

quote:
Put them togeather in a ring and see who truly is holier than thou.


Didn't they do a match like this on Celebrity Deathmatch?

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense." -Buddha

I've seen this too often, where they can't just leave well enough alone!

HEY CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS!! YEAH, SOME OF YOU IN IRELAND?! WHAT PART OF "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! HUH?!

*pant pant*

As for Falwell and the goon squad, they'd better get a reality check!
