Newly-elected Speaker Mike Johnson gave Americans a glimpse of his "worldview" on Thursday night while fielding a question about homophobic remarks he made.
The way I have always viewed Christians vs Catholics is that Christians fundamentally believe faith in god is the only requirement. In Catholicism it is not enough to believe, but they believe that good deads are required, hence Catholic guilt. In that way, Christians don't really care about the new testament and the teachings of jesus, believe in god is all they require to be good Christians.
Interesting take. I grew up Catholic, Sunday school yada yada. That guilt… that is some fucked up shit to put into a child.
But as you put it, Christians are far more insufferable and a significant reason why I changed my faith.
And please spare me how the Catholic Church is somehow king of pedo. Every Christian sect is rife with them. If you care about your kids stay away from them all. You can give them a better handle on ethics and mortality with some basic cartoons. And they'll probably enjoy them rather than groan at the stupid outdated biblical shit you want to make them learn.
Yes, but in the US you have Catholics and all the various sects that fractured from the Catholic church, i.e. Christians who don't follow the pope. They all follow Christianity, which makes them all Christians, but whether they focus on Jesus Christ and the New Testament or focus on god and the Old Testament is where the distinction lies.
Correct, again its just been my experience that non-catholic Christians will generally refer to themselves as Christians and Catholics will call themselves Catholics over saying they are Christian, at least in the US.

Yeah, I'm biased but i stand by that statement.
You know Catholics are Christians, right?
Yes, but in the US you have Catholics and all the various sects that fractured from the Catholic church, i.e. Christians who don't follow the pope. They all follow Christianity, which makes them all Christians, but whether they focus on Jesus Christ and the New Testament or focus on god and the Old Testament is where the distinction lies.
So, the more appropriate thing to say would be, "Catholics vs other Christians."
Correct, again its just been my experience that non-catholic Christians will generally refer to themselves as Christians and Catholics will call themselves Catholics over saying they are Christian, at least in the US.
Them catholics sure like to dig around for something to assuage their 'guilt' inside little boy holes.
