"Lady?".  Catholic male sexism maybe?  How do you know a PP is a woman?  Clearly you then must be a Catholic male - it's pretty obvious from above but why do you immediately assume "lady"?[/quote]

I hope you don't gamble, I am neither male nor Catholic!  If you had actually read my post other than the word "lady" you would have noticed that!

I address all posters on DCUM (DC Urban MOMS) in the feminine because gender neutral pronouns are annoying.

[b]Do you care to discuss the subject at hand or go on another tangent?[/quote][/b]

No. to say "silly nonsense, Lady" is just patronizing and rude.  Besides I wasn't even part of the conversation.  You seem to think there is only one stupid "lady" you are talking to.  There are many people here making different points.  But I stop reading when the insults come out.  And BTW I'm a man.[/quote]

I did not call anyone stupid.  I did not use any insults.  Maybe because you are a man, you think "lady" is an insult, but I don't.  That seems sort of sexist, don't you think?  [b]Calling catholic statues "graven images" IS silly nonsense[/b], and believe me, I'm not trying to be patronizing when I say that.  That poster is basically saying Catholics (and by extension any Christian who likes those little religious statues) are "worshipping" idols, Old Testament style.  THAT is a very big insult, IMO.  If you read the Old Testament with any sense of context, people in those times were worshipping gold cow statues.  Statues in churches are not remotely the same as praying to a golden cow statue!!   You're just pearl-clutching (and you're a man!  yay for gender equality!).[/quote]

Actually, statues in catholic churches were a big issue during the reformation.  They were seen as graven images then, at odds with true christianity, and I've heard modern-day protestants refer to them that way.[/quote]
