Catholics vs. Evangelicals?

[TrueChristian]

As we all know, these are the two largest groups of Christianity in the United States ( and maybe the world!)

Can you tell me your experiences of interacting with the two groups of people?

Which do you prefer (as a whole) and what if any differences do you find between them?

[Silver]

I prefer neither.

[brewer]

Catholics drink more.

[abaris]

[Minimalist]

They all suck.

[Catholic_Lady]

Where did you get those stats?

Personally I have never known an Evangelical so I can't say much.

Personally I have never known an Evangelical so I can't say much.

The numbers are correct, dear.

This chart is broken down in different ways but "baptists" ( and we have a couple of representative crazies around here ) are the second largest group behind catholics.

(Of course, they don't consider catholics to be "christian" but that is a pissing contest I rather enjoy watching.)

Which do you prefer (as a whole) and what if any differences do you find between them?

Dominating, (as a whole). But only during those special moments.  
Outside of those moments, I particularly don't care for being told what to do.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

In my experience, evangelical Protestants are easier to deal with, since they'll simply kill you out of hand. Catholics will torture you first.
