Jews, Christians, sectarians, Muslims, Jehovah witnesses etc... Anyone following on from the book of a single God is basically worshiping the same "Jehovah, God, Allah" anyway. They all just disagree on what the aim at the end is and what to call it. I personally think that the ability to act in a way that betters your surrounding society in a direction that better represents your personal ideas, ( these are usually shaped by the society around you) is all that is required. If believing you'll be rewarded or punished for your effectiveness is a useful motivator for you fine. If there being some higher purpose you have been personally sent forth to achieve, great. If you need reassurance your not alone, fine. I don't really care what your reasoning for achieving your goals is, as long as you try. I support you what ever your reasoning is. However I will judge you by your own standards, I will act according to to your beliefs in regards to yourself. So be warned and be honest of action and word when you meet me for if you don't like being dealt with the way you deal with people you will likely fine I am you worst nightmare. Have a for filling life :)

Catholics follow pointless man made rules and doctrines and then there is just christian. Which a christian does not follow man made rules like dress up when you go to church, come as who you are.

Protestant belief is that Christ is the only thing that can get you to heaven whereas works plays a part in getting there for Catholics

They don't? Who said that?

Because they worship saints and the mother mary

Idol worship

Christian; A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. "Christian" derives from the Koine Greek word Christ, a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mashiach. There are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict. However, "Whatever else they might disagree about, Christians are at least united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance.” By this definition, Catholics are definitely Christian. There might be a lot of squabbling about how to please their god, but the central defining theme is that they follow Christ's teachings to some degree.

Too many idols

Have you seen my Catholic post?[spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/124393593/0/0[/spoiler]

[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/123864108/0/0]At the time of posting this most people don't consider Catholics Christians.[/url] [b]How do you guys feel about this?[/b]

Cause they are prideful, and I've noticed this go both ways. I have a fairly religious friend he's a protestant i think anyway, one time he was having a conversation with some dude the dude asked whether he was religious or not my friend answered protestant, catholic dude got up and left without another word.

Protestants are a spin off from our church, Martin luther(not mlk) made it, they did not agree with the Catholic church and some of its views They beleived in pre destination (chose when you are born if you go to heaven or not) There was abuses within the church( not child abuse silly) corruption

To add something else to the conversation as an Orthodox Christian, the irony is that while Catholics are more similar to us Orthodox people at least externally than Protestants are, Catholics are also considered schismatic, heretical, and anathema by the canons of the Orthodox Church whereas Protestants with the exception of John Calvin do not have any anathemas against them. The reason is because Rome willingly committed schism in AD 1054 from the rest of the Church whereas Protestants never belonged to it in the first place and are thus innocent as far as that goes. One of the Church's main canonical charges against Rome is the latter's addition of the Filioque to the Nicene Creed. The canons of I believe the 2nd and 3rd Ecumenical Councils--along with an 8th Ecumenical Council that pre-schism Rome accepted before later repudiating it as a "robber council"--prohibited the alteration of the Nicene Creed except by another Ecumenical Council, declaring anyone who does so anathema. The Filioque was not added by another Ecumenical Council. It was added by a backward synod in Spain at the 3rd Council of Toledo in AD 587, without the participation or approval of the rest of the Church at large. That said, the canons only prohibited the [u]alteration[/u] of the Nicene Creed; not the usage of an altered Creed (unless I missed something). Therefore technically, the Roman Catholic Church is anathema by the canons of the Eastern Orthodox Church whereas Protestants who use the Western Nicene Creed with the Filioque are not anathema since they weren't the ones who made the alteration. The greater irony is that prior to the schism, even though Rome was the one that was anathema by the canons, it was Rome that waged charges against the Eastern Church for our refusal to adopt the Filioque, whereas previously we just turned a blind eye to Rome's uncanonical addition of the Filioque. This is why the first Eastern criticism of the Filioque didn't come until the 9th century with St. Photios the Great, because it wasn't until then that Rome--influenced by the development of the papacy under Charlemagne who hated Greeks--tried to force her authority on the other patriarchates. So yes, even though Roman Catholics are, at least externally, more similar to the Eastern Orthodox Church than Protestants are, the irony is that they are also guiltier at least by virtue of technicality due to the canons of the Eastern Orthodox Church, whereas there are no canonical condemnations or anathemas against Protestantism with the exception of John Calvin. To make it worse, feelings between Orthodox people and Catholics in Europe have been very tense and bad historically. The former hold a lot of grudges against the latter because N@zi sponsored Uniate/Eastern Catholic groups during World War II used to massacre Orthodox people. There are stories of large groups of civilians being asked to Cross themselves by these groups, and the ones who would Cross themselves from right-to-left--the Orthodox--would be shot while the left-to-right Uniates would be spared. In turn, Orthodox people in recent times have acted out against Eastern Catholics, like Russia's current intervention in Ukraine for example.

Overreaction I think. [spoiler]coming from a Protestant here. [/spoiler]

Catholics don't think of Catholics as Christians

Religion is poison. I can write words into a book as well. Science disproved all false beliefs.
