Who'd even want to be a Baptist anyway. Church did 'em a favor.

I'll be the first to acknowledge I don't have a soul.

 

I'm not a Democrat, though.

Way to bash the largest Protestant denomination in the US.

I don't know one baptist. Everyone is catholic here.

My neck of the woods is Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians.

I can't fling a dead cat without hitting a Pentacostal.

We have like 8 bagillion Baptist churches in my (southern) hometown.

In Florida there are Baptists everywhere. In Ontario they aren't nearly as common. Where I grew up it was mainly Anglican & Greek Orthodox. I find Baptists to be quite rigid in their beliefs for the most part.

Well, kicked out...shown the door...whatever you wanna call it.

 

Whatever you wanna call it it's bullshit.

Baptists and Catholics hate each other so much because they both think the other is going to hell.

 

Catholics have pedophile Priests.

 

Baptists have Jerry Falwell and Fred Phelps.

 

Any questions?

They don't hate each other. I was raised as a Baptist and neither I nor anyone I know hated Catholics. My mom married a Catholic.

 

And I think Pope JP 2 even issued an edict or something that said Protestants were "brothers in faith" or something like that.

You and I appearently know different Catholics, then. The kind that live down here think the sun shines straight out of their collective asses.

Come to think of it, there was a Catholic kid in my Boy Scout Troop who told me and the other Protestant kids that we would go to hell.

 

We did pick on him a lot though, so we probably deserved it. He was chubby and slowed us down on hiking trips.

That's been my experience as well.

 

As a non-Christian, I find these inter-denominational arguments hilarious.

God would have wanted you to kill him and then eat him

I've never met one Catholic in my age range that thought Protestants were going to hell for being non-Catholic.

 

Plenty of Baptists I know find plenty of the Catholic rituals quaint/weird but don't hate them for it.

 

There's also plenty of types of Baptist sects with slightly different beliefs.

 

Methodists are exactly the same as Baptists except they believe you can lose your salvation.

Anybody kicked out of the church should see it as the opportunity it is. A Chance to sleep in! Play some video games. Maybe throw one in the old lady.

Maybe they just didn't want to admit it.

I don't hate Catholics. I got a LOT of problems with Catholicism as a whole, but I think that stems more from me being a Protestant rather than a Baptist. And some of those criticisms can be applied towards the protestants as well.

 

I'm not sure what Crono's trying to say, unless he's referring to how Protestants (not simply Baptists) may view Catholicism as a doctrine of works rather than faith. And some of us are really, REALLY disturbed at how much emphasis the Catholics place in the Pope and Mary, neither of whom should ever be treated with anything even close to divinity.

[sarcasm]Oh, zing!

 

Good one.

 

Way to go there, Champ. Light up the room with your witty banter.[/sarcasm]

 

Back on topic.....

 

When I was dating that hardcore Catholic chick about 6 months ago, we went to her Catholic church one Sunday. When I asked about whether the "blood" part of the Communiom was grape juice or actual wine, she told me it was wine, but that I couldn't partake in it anyway.

 

My immediate mental reaction was "WTF!?", and I think it may have slipped onto my face. But, I simply sat there like a good Christian, ignoring their (her) arrogance and elitism.
