Please explain what Catholics, not the Church but the Catholic people have done to you to cause all your hatred on us

We believe in God and follow the Bible and yes we pray to Mary

Why do you hate us so much that you say we are in a cult, not Christians, whore of Babylon?

What if we called you names, you would not like it, it is our choice that we stay a Catholic because we believe in the Church

So why do you hate us, not the Church but Catholics?

If someone is a doctor, I find that people always refer to him/her as Dr. Last Name, even when they are not working, like on their day off or after work. Why is that the only profession that you refer to the person by their profession at all times?

I do not believe thier near death experience, if you look at most of them claiming hell is real you will notice they all tell the exact same story word for word, not one word changes. how can you believe that? nobody will descibe it the exact same that is impossible. nobody uses the same words to descibe anything. we all have our own vocabulary so to speak, how can you believe it?

The holy bible is a bunch of crap. It is totally a bunch of crap. The book is dumb and stupid. The only reason I believe in God and Jesus is so I can end my life and go to heaven.

I hope there is a heaven, so I don't have to come back to this filth called earth. I do anything to leave this crappy planet. This planet is waste.

How come God is so stupid to create humans. He should have known better. But then again he's God, what should I expect.

If you only knew how much I hate this God-forsaken planet and its people.

Were they following the way of jesus that was not told to the general public. Do they believe in jesus at all. How could they? Do they think the whole church system is just b.s? They must. How could they do such things? The numbers are finally in. Six billion dollars. Wouldn't that money have better uses careing for the poor and sick over the world?

Why are so many people posting hate filled rhetoric about the Catholic church? Just because some priests molested come kids does not mean every single priest or religious person did so. How can you say things like "I will never give a dime to a church because they cover up their scandals with it?" Not only do they do that,

~they pay their bills and taxes
~buy the wine and wafers
~make bibles and rosaries so people who can't afford them can have them.
~They pay for orphanages they run
~food and clothes for those orphans
~food and clothes for the priests, nuns, and monks
~Cars for priests so they can go to people for their last rites, ~gas for the cars

~not to mention feeding children in 3rd world countries
~donating money to rebuild towns after natural disasters
~to provide food for victims of war
~build more churches in towns that don't have one


The money you donate does not go for the Catholic church to "cover up" the mistakes priests have made.

I know that during The Reformation, a number of Protestant movements took place, creating people who were not following directly from The Vatican. I know there are Protestant christian religions, like Baptist, Mennonite, Evangelical, Anglican, Lutheran, ect.

I asked a few people what religion there family is, and some have responded "Protestant".

Is Protestant a specific denomination of Christianity? Is there a PROTESTANT CHURCH called just that: for example "First Protestant Church of Joesville" ? Or is the term Protestant simply a term for any Christian who is NOT Catholic - all the denominations of Christianity that fall under being not Catholic?

I ask this as a non-religious person interested in what the term "Protestant" can mean.

Thank you!

Are the diffrences because of the Origins i.e. one is an offshoot of the other
or
are the differences ideological
or are they theological and timeline related or is it something completely different than these?
