Jew here. What's the practical difference in terms of what people believe and how they act between Protestantism and Catholicism and Orthodox? Also if Catholicism is the oldest, why is Orthodox called that?
>>10221
The oldest would be Orthodox(not actually the original orthodox started in 400 A.D by Constantine when), then Catholics then Prots
The original Christianity no longer exists, if it did it would literally be like Islam today and probably not even considered Christianity. When Constantine made Christianity mainstream, many of the pagans didn't want to convert to it cause it would mean they would have to give up their pagan festivals that celebrated the new year and the new seasons. So Constantine merged original Christianity and all the Pagan religions and created Chalcedonian Christianity which would later split into Orthodox and Catholics
>Finland
>More orthodox
wtf is this shit map? 79% of the population still belongs to the evangeliical LUTHERAN church of Finland and lutheranism is our state religion. the rest 21% are irreligious.

Orthodox here.
Protestants are essentially a sect with no real tradition or culture.
Catholics worship the pope and the virgin mary more than god. They're a well-oiled global corporation. Also they commit sins and then just confess to go to heaven.
While we Orthodox are divided into ethnic churches with our separate characteristics and we pray like buddhist monks (just repeat words in a meditative trance). And most of what we do is out of tradition and superstition and not out of rational belief.

>Catholics worship the pope and the virgin mary more than god
We don't worship the Pope nor the virgin Mary.
We believe the Pope is infallible, and venerate the virgin mary. The rest is ok.
HAHAHA PEOPLE STILL FALLING FOR THE RELIGION JEW.
MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN YOU ARE ON WAS! YOUR DEATH BED LOOKING AT HOW FUTILE YOUR EXISTENCE IS AND HOW ABSOLUTELY INSIGNIFICANT YOUR LIFE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HOW ABSOLUTELY RETARDED SUBMITTING YOURSELF TO A RELIGIOUS BELIEF IS.
GET WOKE NIGGAS!!

Infallibility is a godly trait. You literally believe the Pope speaks directly to God

Catholics just acknowledge the inherently sinful nature of humanity. What kind of cruel god wouldn't give most people a shot at redemption? Of course there's a limit to this but we're all gonna fuck up in life at some point. Doesn't mean you're a bad person.
But yeah the church as an organisation is shit. However 90% of Catholics don't WORSHIP the pope you fucking sperglord. Except for poor latino peasants who go apeshit over him most just think he's a kind of cool guy but distrust him because any Catholic who's not an idiot knows that the Church is corrupt and evil as shit.
No one worships Mary either. But you've baited me hard enough at this point that I wont bother continuing my argument.

Why are Americans obsessed about religion, but still don't celebrate Easter?
Hmm?
>>10223
and Protestantism outweighs Catholicism in Australia, what is this meme map? It's just Protestantism is comprised of several of it's own sects, so individual sects don't.
>>10225
Also Catholics have statues in their churches, unlike the Orthodox. Highlighting that they worship human beings and materialism
