  • You obviously have extreme bias. Bias so extreme as to be laughable and preposterous. Let's talk about your "poll"....your first choice says: Christians (follows the bible) yet also says: Catholics (follows the bible and apocrypha) 1) Catholics don't "follow" the apocrypha. You fail right off the bat in your equation that it's even remotely close to the same way that Mormons actually "follow" the Book of Mormon. 2) "Roman Catholics", "Byzantine Orthodox", "Protestant" are all "catholic" the word means universal. Don't believe me? Go look it up for yourself. 3) You can't include all the various Judaisms in this? Laughable, since BOTH Christianity and Islam would not exist if "Abraham" hadn't purportedly spoke one on one with God.... You have no scope, no sense of context. Do some more homework before spouting off your ignorance.

  • No they're not... Catholicism came into being with the conversion of Emperor Constantine, who wanted Christianity to appeal to the pagans (ie. Veneration of Mary=Isis worship, Saints=Pagan Gods, etc.)

    You got most of your facts straight....except your assertion that Catholics aren't Christians (if I'm reading right, or you're disagreeing that Catholics are OG **my words**) the word 'catholic' simply means universal. The conversion of Constantine changed "Christianity" from a backwater breakaway Jewish sect to what it is now. It's entirely realistic that had that never happened I would probably have been raised either under some traditional Roman belief system or Islamic, cause I hope we can agree that Judaic proselytizing just isn't on the same level as that of Christianity or Islam. The word "catholic" simply means universal.
