How exactly does one minister to a catholic? Duggar: Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour? Catholic dude: Well yes I have. I am actually a pretty devout member of a church. Duggar: That's Ace! What church? Catholic: That one down the street. Duggar: The catholic one? Oh no no no. You sir are no christian. Please let me tell you how you are doing Christianity wrong, and will go to hell unless you do it the way I tell you. I can't see any catholics being receptive.

The Bible posted:This is essentially how ministering to any religion goes. I thought it was more like "We have the same religion but you guys acknowledge this silly pope because you didn't have a King that wanted to divorce his wife and the pope wouldn't let him so he said 'gently caress the pope, officially' and therefore clearly protestantism is the one true religion."

You're thinking of the church of England. Jew-hunter Supreme, Martin Luther, is responsible for the protestations (which he nailed to a Cathedral door) which spawned Protestantism, which is both a particular sect and the umbrella term for denominations spawned from it. For instance Southern Baptists are part of the larger Baptist movement which is under Protestantism. The other two main branches of Christianity are Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. That's my rough picture at least

It goes something like, "In order to truly be SAVED you have to be born again, choosing to be baptized instead of whatever your kooky church did when you were a baby. The only way to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven to be with our all loving God is to do exactly what I say, otherwise that benevolent God will let you burn in the fires of eternal damnation. Also, you guys worship the Saints, and that's polytheism and wrong." Something like that. Some words may be a little different.

Another favorite is to point out the many, many idols adorning Catholic churches in direct violation of the 2nd Commandment. After which you go along and sin freely, pausing occasionally to ask forgiveness.

Baptism was symbolic anyway. Getting dunked in a filthy river by a guy who ate locusts wasn't a supernatural act. It was a sign to other believers that you had joined the team. I am now being burned at the stake.

Real persecution, like kidnappings, forced marriages, and murders, not having someone say "Happy Holidays" in the food court instead of "Merry Christmas," but good luck convincing the Duggar crowd to worry about brown people.

Don't forget the Catholic praying to saints and then Virgin Mary for intercession with God, which was originally, depending on how jaded you look at things, a way to get pagans and Goddess worshippers technically on board with Christ. I can't speak to Orthodoxy, but I'm pretty sure it's similar to Catholicism in many ways except for no Pope. They have an Archbishop of some kind or something. (Which is what the Pope is, also the literal mouthpiece of God on Earth? The same way that the Eucharist is literally the Body and Blood of Christ. It... is and it isn't. At the same time. ) Another big difference between Catholics and Protestants is the Works v. Grace argument. Is that many Protestants, especially Evangelicals, do not believe that anything other than God's grace is required to be saved. This is how they justify being both saved, and dickish (un-Christ-like) as they do not believe that God's Grace makes you want to be cool with or help people. Catholics would posit that being infused with the Holy Spirit would make one perform acts of kindness and charity, and that performing these acts also infuses one with the Holy Spirit. I might not have explained that properly. Anyway, jIm bOb.

Even for realsies Satanists know not to be dicks. Arguably, their god Lucifer, the most gifted, powerful and beautiful being in creation, is still suffering from God being a dick with his punishments back in the day. Does grace not extend to angels? If not, that's kinda hosed up, G*d.

Yeah, I figured you meant American Christians--half of them probably aren't even aware there's an Eastern Orthodox Church, let alone the Coptic Church. It always struck me as weird that so people so vocal about their religion know nothing about it--like, how can you have no curiosity about something you claim is a vital part of your identity? (I mean, I get it--people are lazy, and learning about stuff means learning and digesting complicated, sometimes contradictory histories, people, and concepts, and people don't like challenging their own faith/identity and so on--but still.) CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Don't forget the Catholic praying to saints and then Virgin Mary for intercession with God, which was originally, depending on how jaded you look at things, a way to get pagans and Goddess worshippers technically on board with Christ. The Eastern Orthodox Church's analogue to the Pope is the Patriarch of Constantinople, but he doesn't have the same authority as the Pope. He's mostly a ceremonial/honorary leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church and sets the tone, but the other EOC's aren't actually under his authority. Fun fact! Before the Schism that finally split the Eastern and Roman churches, the Pope and Patriarch were co-heads of the Church. Naturally, there were a lot of disagreements, and various popes and patriarchs feuded and sometimes excommunicated each other, so starting in 1054, the churches split along an east-west (Greek-Roman) line.

Probably because it's a lazy default that people only get into when they get into serious poo poo and/or want to evade responsibility. Doesn't help that Christmas gives the illusion of Christianity when most Americans simply don't give a poo poo and practice a capitalist/Yule version of it anyway. American Christianity is just a way for ignorant people to feel superior and pressure everybody into giving that ignorance space.

That's pretty awesome, actually. I had no idea the church had two heads before.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:That's pretty awesome, actually. I had no idea the church had two heads before. Neither did I, until I took a class on the history of the Byzantine Empire. Appropriately enough, two heads of the church was the result of having two heads of the Roman Empire (and two Caesars to succeed the two emperors, divvying up the Roman Empire into four districts), which didn't work for very long. Constantine I eventually conquered all of the empire for himself, established a second capitol in Byzantium, and renamed the city Constantinople. When everything in the western half of the empire went to hell, the eastern half kept chugging along as the Roman Empire. The church used the same two-capitols/two-leaders approach as the Tetrarchy, which yielded the same results: a split along east/Greek and west/Roman lines.

Well, to be fair Christians in Africa probably know little to nothing about American denominations. My favorite Christmas fact is that the Puritans didn't celebrate it because it's a Pagan holiday.
