Rich coming from you, you can spout a lot of what you say as calmly as you like, it'll never be classed as civil though.

That's just insecurity on your part.

NO.

No point going around proclaiming your insanity.

Being religious is not insanity if you know how to go about with your business in the real world, as well having a good understanding of your religion and being able to read between the lines.

The second you start attributing literally any bad happening or whatever to the divine and only the divine, is where we have a case of insanity. Like, for example, the people saying America has been hit with storms or whatever because they're not Muslim/they aren't supporting the Israeli regime enough (the second one just boggles my mind).

I'm not religious, but out of curiosity: What exactly are protestants? Are all those different American denominations under the protestant category? Can someone explain the different denominations a little to me?

Haven't you ever heard of the Reformation?

I know that a king in England wanted to marry another chick and when the church said no he said FU pope, I'm creating my own branch and I'm gonna marry as many chicks as I please.

But my question is who falls under this category these days.


It's very easy to determine what Protestants are. If they are not Catholic or Eastern Orthodox then they are Protestant.

OT: So are you syaing that Eastern Orthodox (I can make a great argument that they are historically the most correct denomination even above catholics) are Protestant?

If you could reason with religious people then there would be no religious people.

Unfortunately I couldn't take part in the poll as I am Orthodox Christian. Historically we and the catholics were part of a unified Roman church until the great schism in 1054 which split the church in two.

Here is a decent link which explains the differences between the Orthodox and Catholics.
http://www.ocf.org/OrthodoxPage/reading/ortho_cath.html

Without going into too much detail I basically just try to live my life without hurting anyone and respecting God's laws as much as I can in this secular age. For instance even though I shouldn't work Sundays, at my work it is a requirement.

I don't believe in preaching to people though I will discuss my beliefs if anyone inquires.

One very important thing I believe is that judgement day will only happen when God deems it appropriate and that we as people can not influence this in any way which it appears may be the belief of many fundamentalist Christians these days.

I don't believe in preemptive use of force. It should only be ever used if attacked and even then enemies should be treated mercifully. That is combatants should be given a quick death, prisoners and civillians are not to be harmed.

That's just a quick and basic summary of my beliefs.
