So I guess you made the point that RC's aren't alone in building expansive, ornate churches with all kinds of things that Evangelicals think shouldn't be there. Touche' for you.

I guess this is like the persecution of Christians thing, "you did it to, so I'm not as bad".

"Bad" is in the eye of the beholder, Catholics aren't the ones who depict statues, the lighting of candles and etc. as wrong.

I think one of the things I find oddest about many Protestants on FR is that they seem to think that their beliefs are held by most other Protestants and this is absolutely not true. As far as I can tell, the ONLY beliefs upon which Protestants are united is in their rejection of papal primacy (which they took from the Orthodox and then proceeded to mangle) and the belief in sola scriptura (though Protestant definitions of what this means are nearly as varied as the conclusions reached by its implementation).

Got to take off those Rose colored glasses.

It's been said numerous times over the years, but I'll say it again. The unity among Evangelicals is our belief in The Gospel. After that we may have a lot of different opinions, but we stand united in our belief in The Gospel and because of it we are the Body of Christ.
