Which denominations have you spotted on this forum?

[Nay_Sayer]

Besides myself, I think there are a few other Pastafarians

[Fireball]

Pff. I want to know where those $50 bills are. That's a denomination, amirite?

[Fake Messiah]

I don't understand the black-and-white thinking of either fundamentalist/cults that think theirs is the only true religion and non-believers that think every slight doctrinal difference represents an completely different religion

Well there you go, you answer yourself in one contradicting sentence: first you say ask why religious people think theirs is only one religion and then you wonder why Nones think the same way - Nones think that doctrinal differences are different religions because religious people see it that way. You know there are centuries of really bloody conflicts between christian fractions.
I mean from the beginning Catholics and protestants have been calling each other's religion "Whore of Babylon". But in honesty Nones don't think there is much difference, they just observe the behavior of Christians, because other denominations do let Christians look at ("other") Christianity from outside and they usually hate it, they can't stand it but they don't realize they're also looking at themselves.

You have your penny, your nickle, your dime, your quarter. You have your 50 cent pieces, and even Presidential and Susan B dollars. Then you have the 1 and 5 and 20 and 50 and 100 dollar bills. But to be honest, I have not seen anyone post pictures of those denominations yet.

What?

You forgot the $2 bill. The recycling center by where I used to live always has tons of those to give out for some reason.

I am not interested in the different denominations. It's like weighing different lumps of dogshit. It's all shitty, not interested.

I wouldn't say all religious people in the world as individuals are "dogshit"

I wouldn't, and didn't, say that either.

[Catholic_Lady]

I consider members of all christian denominations christians as well. I dont like it when other Christians say that Catholics aren't Christian.

They are trying to be kind, dear.

What do you mean Chuck?

[Drich]

CL, Lek, and the fresh out of the oven pabsta are Catholic
Wooters is a Swedenborgian/Catholic Voltron
GC is Southern Baptist (I believe)
Not sure about RR, Steve, or Huggy... Protestant?
Drich is his own thing

Im not my own thing..

I belong to harvest bible chapel.. Not a national movement yet, but it can be found in Chicago area west coast Orlando and east coast.

The driving principle in this church is to study using the bible as the standard and not tradition or church authority. Which does make alot of people mad when they are told their beliefs have no biblical basis. But again I am not the only person nor is harvest bible chapel the only church who attempts to follow scripture first.

Here's a simple test.

If Jesus says do ABCD and the pope corrects that teaching and says it was recorded in error do 1234 who instruction would you follow???

Can't claim to be a follow of Christ if the pope or even a lessor authority figure gets the last word. (get to change or corrects the direct teaching of Jesus No matter what the reason given.) Those who follow the pope or any religious figure head or consul over that of the teaching of Christ is of that denominational teach first and then how they relate to Christ second.

Roman catholic follow the teachings and traditions of the R/C church first and then how those teachings relate to Christ.

Now all of that said... I do not believe any of us have the right to call ourselves Christian. That is a title Jesus will award after we are saved from judgement. The only thing we can claim in this life is if we are followers of Christ or followers of the teachings of other men.

I cannot think of a clear example of where the Church of Rome directly contradicts any scriptural mandate. There is definitely some room for dispute about the role of confession, the nature of the eucharist, apostolic succession, etc. I think you will find that the papal encyclicals and such are much more nuanced than protestants give them credit. At the same time, the language they contain can seem a little weasily from the outside looking in.

Spotted? None personally. Are we allowed to give them the pox?

I'll start gathering the blankets.
