Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.
Here's some differences between Protestantism and Catholicism.
Published on April 17, 2008 By erathoniel In Religion

Now, I'm not such terribly great a scholar, when it comes to Catholicism, but I'm gonna try to lay out some differences.

  1. Catholicism has more rituals, Protestantism has virtually none.
  2. Catholicism has a central leader, Protestantism has, again, virtually none (though large groups may adopt specific leaders).
  3. Catholicism took longer to adopt the native languages of the people, Protestantism was bred in these languages.
Here are some similarities.
  1. Both are true-blood, believing Christians (unlike Mormons).
  2. Both teach the same scriptures (again, unlike Mormons).
  3. Both preach the same teachings, more or less to the letter.
Join me next time when I talk about the differences between mainstream Christianity and Mormonism. Yes, I've got some knowledge about the LDS. More than about Catholicism, actually.

You better have real knowledge because JU has some LDS. So be sure to have good sources and such. Your work will be checked.

I'm no scholar, either, but let me outline the differences between the color red and the color blue.

Red is considered a warm hue, while blue is considered a blue hue.
Red is the first color in the rainbow, while blue is the third to last.
Red includes shades like Brazilian Flame and Burgundy while blue includes shades like Turquoise and Robin's Egg Blue.

There are some similarities, however.

Red and blue are both primary colors (unlike ORANGE!).
Red and blue can combine to make purple (but NOT orange!).
Red and blue are colors most often used on children's toys.

I will write more on orange later, since I do know a lot about it! More than I know about blue.

Umm... KFC and Lula keep posting about how Lula's bible has more books in it than KFCs. So I don't think you're right here.

Brilliant!

The Catholics keep a little more of the original church's writings too, but not like the Book of Mormon adds on the equivalent of video-game expansion packs. I can read the Book of Mormon, I've found it online before. Or I could find one that one of my relatives left around here.

GAH! I went on a new anti-biotic today, for my skin. Warnings included: Makes skin sensitive to sunlight. Not bad, huh? I tingle.

I'll be interested to see your mindless drivel version of Mormonism, if only to nail your ridiculous, ignorant assumptions to the wall.

You're fun, because you try to act like an authority while either 1)repeating tired, empty arguments or 2)saying nothing of substance at all.

At least it amuses me.

That's why I've always turned to you, Tex, for all my colour related questions. Your insights on colour are as profound and deeply moving as Erathoniel's on religion.

Do I have to put the no digital high-fiving on every article? If you don't have anything of true value, don't say it.

How do you excuse the original article?

Not funny. It just drowns out the useful comments. Seriously. I will disable or delete comments if I need to. I'm fine with hearing multiple opinions, but don't just continue stating the same thing without bringing anything to the table. It's like telling the same story directly after another person tells it.

Oh, and, so ya' know, the Christianity and Mormonism comparison is up.

That's absolutely your perogative. It's your blog!

But I thought it was funny.

Now, I'll tell you why.

We have a resident protestant and a resident catholic and they go back and forth about the differences between the two all the time, usually seeing the same point but arriving at it in different ways. There are major disagreements in doctrine, usually when referring to something that KFC believes is outside of scripture that Lula thinks is Catholic and therefore infallible. They post ridiculously well thought-out, scripturally researched opinions, that are often ridiculously long as well, when they have these disagreements. This leaves your six sentences (shorter than most of their comments) looking a little laughable in comparison. They might turn up later and post some of them. I hope so, that would be some good discussion.

Noted. Seriously, though, the Pope is a great religious figure, but the Bible ended at about A.D. 100 in terms of new content. It's still relevant, mind you.

I disagree. The Pope is there to distract people from Jesus.

Following that logic, so's your blessed pastor.
