Which spiraled into the ROMAN Catholic church, not even close to what the Christian faith is.
Interesting that you claim to be above the religious wars and then launch a diatribe yourself.
What diatribe? The denomination being questioned/trashed is the Catholic church which preceded all other denominations and the adherants to that faith were termed to be Christians. The diatribe is in the questioning of the denomination that was the basis for all of the other Christian denominations. This is why the founding fathers gave us freedom to believe as we choose but also specified that the federal government could not make laws regarding a specific belief, denomination or sect. Fundamentalist dogmatic rants or questions about another Christian denomination, who is real and authentic and who is not is no different than what muslims do as a matter of course.
In case my beliefs might be in question; I am a believer and my beliefs are Christian, but I don’t follow or adhere to any denomination because denominations are contrivances of man and man’s prejudices. This “who is a real Christian” argument is one facet of those prejudices.
