Favourite branch of Christianity
 

Christians and non-Christians alike - what branch of Christianity are you either aligned to (christened or born into) or most attracted to/would consider if you did become Christian?

Roman Catholicism because I am one...

Protestantism (including Anglican)

I unashamedly and emphatically believe in God and that the historical Jesus is the Christ, but I do not believe in 'Man', therefore I do not belong to any orthodox Christian Church and I do not attend church.

I was born into Catholicism but when I could think for myself decided it all seemed very illogical and as Kirk says "man made" and you can't trust humans to tell the truth and not twist things to suit their own agendas so i wouldn't really be a fan of any religions

Has to be Orthodox for me

mainly due to the outfits

All of them are lovely girls.

Lutherian, which is part of protestantism.

:laugh:

Without the 'Bells and Whistles', Caldy.

I like the cut of the Wee Free's jib

I guess we have a lot more to choose from in the States.. this poll doesn't look anything like the full menu of Christianity we have in the US

My least favorite denomation is prosperity gospel... Joel Osteen must have a really good dentist though... my paternal grandmother is Catholic and I feel like she and her sisters are actually practicing compared to my peers, are more connected as a community and I feel like the church here is less watered down than other denominations... many churches here now are aiming towards prosperity gospel and are Christianity Light... with exception to Baptist, which my family supposedly is rooted in and it is known to be fire & brimstone, Southernly, but strict... However, my grandmother had an abusive step-dad who was also a Pastor and did things to her and her sisters growing up. So unsurprisingly, we were never church-going growing up... I don't think it really affected her faith though.

As far as I understand it, most forms of Christianity that are not an Orthodox or part of Catholicism are technically Protestant - it's just that in the US especially there are a LOT of different varieties of that, and they can be very different from each other and totally different to "classic" Church-of-England style Protestantism. But yeah... they'd generally either be evolutions of classical Protestantism, and so still Protestant, or new offshoots from Catholicism which would make them "new Protestant".



I was christened Church of Scotland so I've voted Protestant in the poll -- but none are my "favourite" and I would never be a practicing Christian of any variety.

Craggy Island is the only place I consider Catholicism acceptable :)

I guess you are a practicing religionist by going to church once a week for an hour and murmuring under your chin and looking serious?

No! it's even easier than that... You can not go to any place of worship, or observe any religious festival whatsoever, conduct yourself in a manner that's counter to any religious doctrine and just say 'I'm a Christian actually!' and people have to believe you :/

I guess you are an expert on religion by going into church for 2 minutes and expecting to be taken serious?

:laugh: OUCH. :laugh:

Tbh it probably would as no one seems to know what an actual Christian is

I expect you have a good definition for the group?

It’s a poll on a Big Brother forum. Was never gonna be all-inclusive of all 1298 sub-sects.

and all the subsets are there because people go to church, dont like not being in charge and go and invent a new version where they can be the boss

typical humans and their need to feel important

Catholicism for me, the real McCoy. Sentimental reasons and aesthetics. Proper organ music, old churches full of art, saints, incence, vestments, the lot.

Warm aesthetics is where it’s at. Just for the beauty.

Plus Virgin Mary’s a mother anyone would love to bang. What a character.
