Protestantism is anything goes.

Catholicism/Orthodox is show and pretend. Tell the good story. Live any way you wish. This snotty claim is not indicative of good, practicing Catholics/Orthodox. It is simply a non truth meant to belittle and put down another group. Come to think of it, just like you did.)

BTW, I was brought in a mixed Protestant/Catholic environment. My extended family group was split about 50-50. Some of them got along and some hated each other simply because of their religion. The major difference: The Protestants were the religious ones.

So, now personal experience counts as absolute truth? My experience has been that America claims to be a religious country and yet lives a very secular, immoral and nasty lifestyle that is anything but religious.

Protestantism is anything goes because every individual makes up his or her own theology and his or her own god just the way he or she likes it, just as they make up their own speed limit, rules and what not. It's narcissistic and egocentric.
