Protestantism and Protestants are hated here.

Quite the contrary. This is primarily a secular political website with strong patriotic fervor. Attributes that don't necessarily require religious belief to be expressed. With some space set aside for religious people to do their thing. Protestantism, and its underlying reliance on secular modes of thought and philosophy to promulgate itself (hence the reason protestantism is always chasing the latest fads) are much more compatible with such a system than Catholicism whose spirit of belief, tradition and thought are not dependent upon secularistic or nationalistic zeal to gain appeal.

Simply put: Protestants think God is an American. Catholics do not.

LOL to your last sentence...

Is that your final answer?

Thanks for the chuckle.

I stand by my statement:

Yes, bad things are said about Catholics as well as Protestants, not to mention just plain ol’ Christians (who have a difficult time convincing Catholics that all non Catholic Christians are NOT Protestants!)

"Protestant" is thrown around everyday here as if it is a dirty word.

Oh and nice little essay, although I don't agree with most of it. Painted with a very broad brush. Lots of intellect displayed though.

I'm quite familiar with Protestantism (as well as Catholicism) but am not a Protestant (or Catholic,) flail 'em all ya want, they are used to it.
