I hate Protestants, and I'm not sure why.

[Pagliacci]

This thread sure gets my fingers itching to get my books on the thirty years war.
The war that made Sweden a superpower,starting with Gustavus Adolphus at Breitenfeldt (He died at Lützen,a day still commemorated here) and more or less ending with Carolus XII at Poltava a century or so later.

Sparky.....


There are Black Catholics,Have you ever been to any large city in Texas? Spanish and Black and White Catholics exist in a very public way.


Only whites know how to use a computer or write?

Then WTF am I? I'm half. Badasschick? and a few others? WTF are they?

Perhaps its time for you to go easy on the Liquor man.


This is the ONLY time I'm going to say this nicely.

Yep, I've been Catholic all my life.

OK I'm a C&E RC for the past 10 years.

Hey! Wake up - knock/knock!!!

You guys may be Catholic...

You may have dark skin that can be self labeled as 'black,'...

But - you ain't 'black.'

No 'real' American, down to earth - regular Black.

No way - you're kidding yourselves.

This thread is fucked up. It's sad to see that people who I respected and who I found to be generally open minded people honestly believe that people who happen to believe in one denomination are better than another. That's fucking bullshit.

Amen.

Yep, it's about me. Oh well, it's been years since I've really pissed people off here, thought I'd get back into the habit.

No, not at all. I was really commenting on posts on the first page.

I'm Catholic but I don't agree, cause that would mean ostricizing one side of my family.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I hate Protestants, and I'm not sure why.

Oh yeah it was a big problem that he was Catholic and Boston Catholic to boot.

As a Boston Irish Catholic I'd really love to know why that is any different than a Chicago Catholic or a San Francisco Catholic.

Ok, I was raised predominately Catholic (yes my mom is Jewish and I was also raised with an understanding and practice of Jewish tradition). I went to a Catholic School, church every Sunday, blah blah blah.

I also grew up in a neighborhood that was NOT Catholic. It was mostly Protistant. My family was snubbed by many neighbors, some people refered to us as "those Catholic breeders" (huge family) and most of the kids in our area weren't allowed near us. The only reason we were accepted at all was that we were there first. This didn't really affect my life in anyway. I don't look back with any animosity. No one ever hurt me and I had a great childhood, friends from school, loving family yata yata.

If Pyper's neighborhood was anything like mine though I think I can understand why she might feel the way she does. If my expirience with the Protestant population was limited to the people who lived in that area I might feel the same way.

Fortunately we moved to the Cape year round and I started public school with a big old mix of Prtestants and Catholics, Jews and Christians and no one had a problem with anyone else's religion.

I lucked out there. But, I realize that had we not moved, I might share her opinion, even if I knew logically and politically it was wrong. So I'm not going to judge her on it other than to say it could have been worded better.

 

[Pyper]

Nah, I'm just a bigot. Er, whatever.

I find that hard to believe. But then, I'm pigheaded about some things.

 

[Pyper]

Well, technically not a bigot, since I'm not even Catholic.

In fact, I hate all religious people! Muahahaha! Much more than I hate Protestants.

 

[watergirl]

I grew up Episcopalian. Does that make me a Protestant? I've never been clear on these things, and anymore, I just don't care.

 

[Samuari]

Funny...I have sort of the same thing. I don't HATE Protestants, but I tend to think they aren't as good as Catholics. (Brought up Catholic, currently atheist.)

Nobody Catholic ever told me Protestants were wrong or bad (except Mormons according to my mother). But I still see Catholics as more generous, open-minded, and authentic people. Flame away.

I'm disapointed that you think this way. I would have never taken you to be this bigioted.

Just as a point of clarification, do you feel this way about all non Roman Catholics, or just just the extream evangelicals? (Most Anglican and Orthodox consider themselves to be catholic, just not subject to the juridication of the Bishop of Rome.)

I think that's doody lav. I think a Catholic's dislike of protestants is as valid and legitimate as any oppressed groups dislike of the people who've fucked them over for hundreds of years.

Therefore, you would justify hating Roman Catholics because of the Spanish Inquistion, three hundred years of counter-reformation, or the crusades?

Lavy's right, that's Bullshit.

Sure. I distrust the holy church as much as all get out.

Let's be fair, we all hate the Catholic Church.

 

[Cheyenne]

No, we don't.

Some of us don't hate anyone. Some of us don't believe that any one generalized group is better than another, especially in categories that measure human goodness, not just religious beliefs.

I don't make distinctions between Christians. My own belief is that no one group has everything right, or everything wrong when it comes to theology. The truth is probably a mixture of many different beliefs, including those outside of mainstream Christianity.

This Nazi Redneck is an even bigger idiot than Hanns and PBW. He knows fuck-all about Black people, excepting what he's seen on T.V. and heard from his buddies in during their many speculations on the size of black dicks. It's always the bottom of the barrel trash of White society who can't accept the existence of the Black middleclass.

Even racist Whites from higher socioeconomic strata don't exhibit this delusional obsession. Only the beer-swilling glue-sniffing, NASCAR-loving dregs of the majority culture hold to the thinking that it's some sort of travesty of justice that Black people routinely attain post baccalaureate professional degrees, and have successful careers, homes in the deep deep suburbs, etc ...

By the way, I knew this thread would out you as the racist fuckhead that you've now proven yourself to be. In an Anti-War thread you made several vaguely racist statements such as, people who don't want a war should (leave the county, because we don't want you if you're not on our team,) and (why shouldn't I be for people like me. These transparently equivocal phrases obviously hinted at your dimwitted backwardness and chauvinist racist zealotry. It seems that I surmised correctly that this thread would be as fly-paper to a snuff-dipping, neo-nazi, ex-convict like you.

Now its clearly evident to all where you're coming from, so you may join Hanns and the other assorted fascist morons on my ignore list. Try not to blow up any trailer parks because you're distracted by your sister's hot ass while you're cooking up Meth.

The Episcopalians (isn't that the same as Anglicans?) are clearly the most Catholic-like, ergo the best, of the Protestant lot ... lol

Re: Re: I hate Protestants, and I'm not sure why.

My parents were raised in a place where every village was divided; separate schools, neighborhoods, stores, even the same last names were spelled differently to denote Cath/Prot adherence.

Consequently, I was raised with a healthy mistrust of the heirarchy and teaching of the Roman Catholic church.

Not a hatred...but a hardwired sense that catholics are narrow minded lemmings who do and believe what they are told.

That sense of the collective versus the individual's control over one's life is still rooted in much of Canada and the way it is organized both socially and politically.

Catholics have tended to vote Liberal, which means more government intervention and social control; Protestants tend to vote Conservative, which means less state control generally.

Quebec, for example, is still to some degree "governed" by its Roman Catholic roots, which are stronger there in terms of social power than anywhere else in Canada....hence the Separation Debate.

Onratio by contrast, is almost totally WASP in its power base...hence the continued friction between Toronto & Montreal for supremacy in everything from # of corporate head offices, to sports teams, to nitelife, to attractive women, culture, shopping, etc etc etc.

In the US, Catholics don't get to be in power anyway, so US society has compartmentalized Roman Catholicism away from secular power, with Protestants running everything.

Those are my thoughts.

There is really nothing that I can add to this except to say that surely you, of all people, must realize that this thread is a more or less a joke? Jewish, Catholic, Sunni Muslim ... it's all the same Abrahamic monotheistic poppy-cock from my perspective. Although, I will admit that in the United States more of your racist war-mongering types tend to be Orange in their mythical affiliation.

My mother grew up in the Southern United States in the WWII era. She went attended a Catholic school, and all of her teachers were nuns. I seriously doubt if she would have been admitted to a White protestant so called "Christian" school in Tennessee circa 1939. And even if she had been, I'm even more certain that the good "conservative Christian" of Jackson Tennessee would have reacted violently. My impression of Catholics as innately more enlightened is undoubted colored by this AmeriKKKan history.

Incidentally, I was very close to going to a Catholic prep school in Windsor Ontario, Assumption College School. However the prospect of a 13th grade was off-putting.
