21. Wait until the Catholics remind the World that you only get to Heaven through the Catholic Church.

It's a fact, Jack. Ask 'em. They'll tell you. All you Trump-Bible Hypocrites can get in line and bend a knee to the Lib' Pope and ask forgiveness for your Apostate attitudes. (Do we see the problem, here?)
I guess it all depends on what you Believe. Before you Light My Pyre, know that I Believe you can Believe whatever YOU want to Believe, right up to where it isn't an option for ME not to. As far as I am concerned, this is all in your head and your decisions are not mine. If what you Believe respects others' Beliefs, and does not cause them harm or fear and anxiety in any way, you're welcome to your Beliefs. And if they make you, and those around you Better, Safer and Happier... of their own accord... Thank You. If not, then NO.
Faith is not Business. Government is not Business. Business is not Faith. Government is not Faith. In a free Society these concepts should NEVER be confused or imposed one-on-another. Abuse ALWAYS ensues.
How long are you thinking you can endure a stretch on "the rack" before you, too, are now a newly-minted Catholic?
(How about now, are we beginning to see the problem here?)
Having pried the top off the box, Pandora, who's going to clean this up?
Is there another stop on the Road To Ruin?
