What makes American Protestants so bad ?
>>2025044
They actually believe the bible
>>2025086
This.
>>2025086
Yea, this is the answer. It is mostly their literal interpretations that makes them terrible.

America is a nation where if you don't like your church you can go make one. It's more or less always been like that, due to the Constitution. This is both good and bad. On the good side, yay American religious freedom. On the bad side, there are a lot of crazies out there and - as >>2025086 stated - literalistic interpretations of the Bible are common among American Protestants.

They don't understand that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man get into heaven. That part of the bible has white out on it or something.

The U.S legal system is structured so that churches are basically untaxed corporations and are run as such.
It's promoted a race to the bottom for parishioners.
>>2025044
They inherited it from even more fucktarded Anglos.

Yeah, but in the wrong way.
Their literal interpretation is what makes them so bad.

This and there's a massive opportunity for frauds or fanatics to gain a MASSIVE audience.
Hard-line fundamentalism is bad in any religion, but holy fuck, some of these pricks hold government office, or hold a massive influence of those that do.

What's interesting about snake handliers is they started when some guy in the back woods found some bible verse saying something about the power to handle snakes. So he decided that this is something Christians should do, after all the bible said it.
Never mind no one in the 1900 years before that had done it, that's just unbiblical tradition. It tells you a lot about the non-mainline protestant mindset. They are capable of interpreting the bible sans any context
Fluoride in the warer.

They take their religion seriously. The only decent Christians are those who are Christian in name only.
why are they so prone to a fundamentalism almost unknown elsewhere?
>>2026292
Yeah, so not literal.
