Cool, however, stick with the few who are actually Christian. That would be helpful.

In the various Churches I've visited; some preached the "prosperity gospel," a certain preacher stated that "a person who tithes will have their washing machine last longer than someone who does not tithe," another pastor claimed that "terrorism is a result of poverty," still another claimed that drinking alcohol, rather that over indulgence of alcohol is a sin.

Don't get me started with what I heard when I wandered into a Liberation Theology Service...

When ever I enter a new church, before I sit down I seek the Preacher or a senior church elder. "I ask, how may one enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The answer is a good indicator.

What tricked me for so long was that I thought that Dr. E's posts of hate somehow characterised the 'all Protestants' because of the way it was worded, seemingly speaking for 'all Protestants' -- and many Catholics and non-Catholics also wonder this.

To be fair, if one were to consider the posts/comments/attacks by some of the Catholics on this thread as the measure of all Catholics, they would be left with a very ugly image.

True enough, however, you pointed out that a few Catholics. Similarly a few Baptists (Westboro etc.) don’t indicate the majority. However, in the case of the OPC, ALL of them spout hatred, continuously 24-7 and never post anything positive about the lover of Christ, they never post any sympathy for Christians being persecuted in the Middle-East (say), never any prayers for anyone else. This is pretty indicative of the cult as a whole
