Fundie Follies: Biting the Hand that Fed You
There is nothing quite so hilarious as some whacked-out Fundievangelical™ asshole that's filled with his own cock-sure self-righteousness. How stuff like this happens is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Catholicism is a lie of the devil, a prison-house of religion. If I didn't sincerely care about people, then I wouldn't take the time to WARN you. The Catholic religion is all a bunch of Satanic lies based upon traditions and ridiculous manipulations of the Word of God. I plead with you as a friend, obey the Bible by turning to the Lord Jesus Christ in faith and forsaking the Mother of Harlots. The Great Whore of the Catholic Church will take you to hell with them if you're foolish enough to follow them. Don't do it. Salvation is NOT found in a religion, but in a Person--the Lord Jesus Christ! You need Christianity friend, NOT churchianity.

This whacko goes on and on with this bullshit. (There's lots more where this came from, see links at bottom of page.).
Where did these Prods get their paper idol in the first place?
The Council of Laodicea, c. 360, produced a list of books similar to today's canon. This was one of the Church's earliest decisions on a canon.
Pope Damasus, 366-384, in his Decree, listed the books of today's canon.
The Council of Rome, 382, was the forum which prompted Pope Damasus' Decree.
Bishop Exuperius of Toulouse wrote to Pope Innocent I in 405 requesting a list of canonical books. Pope Innocent listed the present canon.
The Council of Hippo, a local north Africa council of bishops created the list of the Old and New Testament books in 393 which is the same as the Roman Catholic list today.
The Council of Carthage, a local north Africa council of bishops created the same list of canonical books in 397. This is the council which many Protestant and Evangelical Christians take as the authority for the New Testament canon of books. The Old Testament canon from the same council is identical to Roman Catholic canon today. Another Council of Carthage in 419 offered the same list of canonical books.
Since the Roman Catholic Church does not define truths unless errors abound on the matter, Roman Catholic Christians look to the Council of Florence, an ecumenical council in 1441 for the first definitive list of canonical books.
-- The Canon of the Bible
How about that! It was this very same Catholic Church, this "lie of the devil", that determined which books were "in", and which were "out", which were the WordOfGod™ and which were not. As you can see for yourself, this occurred from the fourth century to the fifteenth. The Council of Florence adjourned 170 years before the Prods got around to making their own Bible: The KingJamesBible™ (Which many a Fundievangelical™ will tell you is the mostest bestest Bible™ in the whole universe.)
How is it possible for this creation of Satan himself, the Roman Catholic Church, to be trusted with discerning what's the authentic WordOfGod™? If the Catholic Church is one big Satanic lie, then why isn't the very product of that self-same church likewise a Satanic lie? May be it is, and the whole damn thing is not the WordOfGod™.
So how do they do it? Remain steadfast in their Bibliolatry while harboring such virulent hatred for the RCC? Don't ask me; I sure can't explain it. Then, again, I couldn't make myself believe the entire universe is just 6,000 years old either. I guess ya just gotta have faith.
