Yes, but being Catholic in no way means that you have to defend your beliefs to others - and anyone with faith knows that they do not have to "prove" anything to anyone else, what matters is your own faith and belief. Some people love to tell other people how to live or like to try to degrade other people's belief's, but you don't have to respond to the bait, especially if you are confident in your own faith. I really don't see how other religions believe or not believe in something is relevant to my own belief system. For example, if another faith thinks praying to saints is idolatry, how is it my job to refute them? Or even my business? They can interpret it any way they want, doesn't bother me.

Apparently, you live in Don't Ask, Don't Tell world concerning religion, but there is a reason that religion and politics are two subjects which are intentionally avoided amongst those who are not of like mind.....My point is, that the AGW community; scientists, lay workers and casual proponents, defended, vehemently, the data, long after it had been proven to be fraudulent and intentionally skewed to reach a desired end.

Those on the opposite side did not have to disprove anything...We knew, by faith, that it was nothing more than a worldwide money grabbing scheme to put the world's middleclass into financial bondage.

Not at all - I just don't force my views on others and if they try to do it to me, it is unlikely to work - in terms of religion anyway. When it comes to facts and science, I appreciate info. though.

Which side of the argument were you on, 3 years ago?

You are correct, that is in part due to variations in the content of the water (sodium, etc.,) and the accuracy of measurement equip and human error. If all variables are in fact identical, you would get identical results. However, usually all variables are not 100% identical, especially for classroom demonstrations, etc.

The same could be said about faith.

Not really.

I am a Catholic, and you are quite mistaken. I am under no obligation to debate purgatory and have no reason to argue about it with anyone. My beliefs are my own. We also don't "worship" saints, but the layperson has difficulty understanding their use in our religious context, and I find it not worth my time to explain it unless someone is truly curious to learn why we believe that way - if a person expects me to defend it, they are barking up the wrong tree... Why would I "defend" a belief? It's just not necessary. So please, feel free to tell me there is no evidence of purgatory in the bible and the most you will get out of me is to inform you that not all bibles contain the same interpretations, but you are welcome to believe what you want about what is in there or not in there.

This is what I was referring to: "However, usually all variables are not 100% identical" and I would add almost always if not always.

Not really.
