Why do Catholics and Protestants argue so much if they worship the same God?

They believe in the same God, but not in the same teachings. And they're annoying assholes, because they believe THEIR interpretation of the bible is the correct one and they don't consider Catholics as real Christians. I broke up with a girl after two weeks because EVERYTHING with her had to be about Jesus, and one of her friends told me, "She dated a non-Christian once and it was hell for her." Fuck you! One time, she asked me to pray for her and then said, "Wait, you didn't pray to a SAINT, did you?'

And they don't believe in science and a lot of them are straight-up culty. I went to a Protestant school and my mom got a letter about not wearing skirts, and one day it was like 110 degrees, and I had those pants that turn into shorts and the fucking JANITOR told me I'm not allowed to wear shorts on Friday. One of my buddies joined venture club and one time he didn't show up to mass, and they called his house. I skipped mass when I was in Sunday school and no one called my fucking house. One of my co-workers said her pastor made them dance barefoot, and when her mom reported them to the diocese, they didn't do anything.

Me and my buddies in high school would kick around water bottles around on the parking lot of a Mormon church and they called the COPS on us for getting water on their parking lot! WATER!!!

And Catholics don't go around people's houses or handout Bibles or shame you for not being Catholic. One Protestant in my class said anyone who doesn't believe in God is retarded and another got offended 'cuz I didn't wanna go to his church. Us Catholics never impose our believes on anyone!

I read stories about children dying because their parents refused to see a doctor. And on an airplane I overheard a conversation, "Our priest said it's okay to have sex after we've had a child."

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GOD! See what you've done? Now you've gotten me angry! I fucking HATE Protestants! They're a bunch of cultist assholes!

You know our "teacher" took us to a planetarium then was complaining that the guy told us the universe was made by the Big Bang.
My bloody text book said Noah had DINOSAURS on his ark!
My co-worker said he doesn't believe in carbon dating and that the earth and human civilization is only 8000 years

Good Lord! I've never seen such retarded people!

Because belief in God is not the contention.

• Catholics believe, in accordance with historical fact and basic logic, that the Biblical canon was compiled, defined, and approved by the Church, and likewise that the Church also relies on sacred tradition and the Church's teaching authority. Protestants believe in the Bible alone.
• Catholics believe, in accordance with the words of Christ himself, that the Eucharist is truly His body and blood. Protestants believe it's just a symbol.
• Catholics give reverence, honor, and veneration to Mary and the Saints. Protestants somehow believe that they distract from Jesus. They objectively do not. In fact, if anything, they do exactly the opposite.
• There are some differences on some social and cultural issues, like contraception.

There is a host of other matters as well, but those are the core issues.

You put up many religious posts Ms kassandra, which is nice.

I have a different take on it.

If you do have a change to review it, let me know what you think?

Religion - Real VS Fake - The Irony of Christian Hypocrisy and the New Dispensation

If not, that is ok, I like your Posts :)

There are fundamental differences in doctrine
1. Catholics believe the Church authorized the Bible. Evangelicals believe the Bible authorized the Church.
2. Catholics believe there are numerous intercessors with G0d. Evangelicals there is only one. Jesus Christ
There are others but these are the biggies.

From a historical standpoint: Power. At the very least over the interpretation of scripture.

[OneViewpoint]

Because religion is never about the philosophy they sell you on Sunday. It's about power and wealth. It's about getting you to support them and give them money, not the other guy.

Fascinating question

I feel like the Anglicans aka Episcopalians are far less big on the whole guilty thing compared to Roman Catholics when it comes to sin sin and more sin aka sex outside of marriage, celibacy, abortion etc

[browsingthroughthe]

Anyways 😈 praise the Lord 🙏🏻 ✝️

Protesants argue. Catholics tend to turn the other cheek

[slatyb]

The same God? Everyone is worshiping their own private God.

[Anonymous]

For the similar reasons that shi'ite muslims and sunni muslims argue even though they worship the same God. But he, at least protestants and Catholics are killing eachother over it. Well, at least not anymore.😆

[kinks1951]

Jews and Muslims also worship that very same God, yet none can get along

[DirtyOldMan777]

there are lots of reasons. far to many to mention here.

[RareBreedOfMan]

I agree with you, makes no sense.

[Staximus]

Because they are dumb 🤡🤡🤡

[jshm2]

Because it's not religion they fight over.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It's always about the specifics

[Paige2006]

Big difference in theology

[browsingthroughthe]
