Destruction of self confidence

[emjay]

I've always found the dim view that protestants hold of catholics strange. Were it not for catholics, there wouldn't even be a magic man to worship.

Yeah, I know, I bring up the same point but the answer I get back is everyone was Catholic back then (when the Bible was compiled) so it doesn't count.

Basically if there's one thing religion's good for, or good at, it's forking and forgetting its roots. What starts as minor differences in interpretation snowballs in each fork, until neither side can recognise each other. That definitely looks like that's what happened here... think of it like Linux, they're just different distros of Christianity
