I can see why you think that way Daniel.
There was and still is to a degree a lot more 'discipline' attached to the Catholic Church but it is far more relaxed now than it was.

Generally Catholic services, re - the Mass, go on a lot longer usually than other Christian churches services.

Please get a new gif thats all you use.

I would not include mormans whether they want to shelter under that umbrella or not. That is one made up religion too far.

Catholicism is what the roman empire evolved into.

im done with this chic.she has a bottle of lies

Why is she a bull****ter? Not everyone follows religious teachings perfectly..

I like Jesus, think he was great and very wise, but think Christianity is a load of bollocks, what religion am I? :tongue:

Whst religious teachings is she following?

This thread is actually hilarious :joker:

Er no. I have been to Catholic and Anglican services.

Catholic services are about 2/3 to 3/4 the length of an Anglican service.

None. The mostly fictional Jesus had all the buzzword hip phrases and lines ascribed to him over the years so its hard not to like the old hippy

Most historians would not accept the word "fictional".

Being Roman Catholic I usually go to Easter services with one of my Parents,the Anglican one I once went to was done in less than an hour, the Catholic one, we were still there after over one and half hours.

However,I have noticed not a great deal of difference in the services now.

Most historians would not accept that jesus actually said much of the stuff he is supposed to have said.

I would not trust word of mouth after one day in the middle east never mind after a 100 or so years

When I was a kid, Catholic priests who could get through a mass in 35—40 mins were very popular! :D

Weren't they.:joker:
Sadly where I was, they were few and far between.

I was raised as a catholic, the services are around 40/45 minutes on average

Agree.

But that someone we know as Jesus existed is not in much historical doubt.

Whether he was the son of god, divine etc is a different issue altogether.

That is still too long for me. Surely your Easter services cannot be got through in that time though.

I now only go at Easter, they are horrendously long,especially the Easter Vigil on the saturday after Good Friday.
I and my family are there around 2 hours that night.

The atheist is the expert on religions. :facepalm: :joker: You couldn't make it up.

There are different masses. The vigil is long because.... it's a vigil. :laugh:

They hold "regular" length Easter masses too.

Just like at Christmas.

I'm a Catholic and our masses last around 40 minutes, extended to an hour on some feast days.

Easter services can be very long.

Anglican services I have been to are rarely over in less than one hour.

I'm not a catholic anymore so only ever go to mass for weddings etc but you must just have priests who love the sound of their own voices lol

Are atheists meant to be religiously ignorant?

I never said that. But for someone who thinks it's all tosh you seem to be the TiBB expert. :joker:
