“I live in a very small town, we have 43 protestant churches (Most are different flavors of Baptist) and 1 Catholic Church. Tough to argue with facts just resort to ad hom attacks.”
You implied that every Protestant church is like Peyton Place, because that is what you experienced at your church when you considered yourself Protestant.
That is a personal fault of yours which you should seek to redress. I suggested your priest, nearly all of whom would be very likely to guide you to reach a different conclusion than the one you’ve chosen.
So your post is the one with unsubstantiated attacks.
You’ll also note that I have not attacked you, nor your church, just your line of reasoning. In fact, I’m happy for you that you’ve found a church that suits you, and that you think that your church is immune from the same human failings that you saw in another church.
I Implied no such thing I am pretty sure I stated it outright. I have seen Prot churches started over haircuts, yeah that is right hair cuts. Setting the racism aside for this post, why are there so many different Protestant churches. I am certain that there are some that are offshoots about doctrinal issues, but not 30,000 different ones. Face the facts you folks don't like the pastors preaching, one of you rents a store front gets some folding chairs, an over heard projector, and you got a brand new church. Couple of weeks later and some doughnuts for fellowship and you got a brand new denomination. And this is not what i experienced in one church singular, it is what I have seen time and time again, through my own direct observation, and seen in the churches (Plural) of friends and family.
