Really? My impression is the opposite. Protestantism -- at least as represented on these threads -- looks like little kids playing house. They mimic the grown-ups without grasping the reality they mimic. Like 10-year olds, they're given to schoolyard taunts, they're literal minded (when it suits them), they have a flat, one-dimensional, linear view of reality, they ridicule what they don't understand, and resist anything that doesn't fit their childish perceptions.
I protest nothing
Those whacko's outside the Trump rally in California are protestants
(English is a fine language if people would learn it and use it correctly)
I am a Christian by the scriptural definition of having searched the Scriptures and learning .. without being dogmatically coerced or forced ... for myself what I must do to go to heaven
I don't care about baptism or priests or denominations or ANYTHING like that ...
I want to go to Heaven and I don't want to go to Hell
I got the answer out of a book the Catholics never gave me nor encouraged me to read for myself .. and I will not consider any modern treatise about how Catholics do TOO read the bible .... NOT IN THE 1950'S OF MY YOUTH ! ! !
I was born again after a friend witnessed to me about Jesus and I asked Jesus to save me in 1981
Something happened immediately that night, up Fallen Timber Rd ... and that something was the direct result of my prayer to ask Jesus to save me
Those words
Jesus ... save me
They were never in Catholic conversation in MY life
Thank you for your unbiased observations.
THAT'S A BRILLIANT AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF PROTESTANTISM.
