Not me! I have always believed that both Catholics and Protestants are Christian.

Well let's look at the points in the Bible...
God said not to worship Idols... Catholic Churches are FULL of Idols!
God said not to pray to ANYONE but HIM and Catholics pray to Mary, to Jesus, to Any NUMBER of Saints.....
God said he didn't like prayers that were memorized or by rote and the Catholic Church uses prayers that everyone memorizes by the time they are 10.
God sent his SON , Jesus Christ to the Earth to die for Man's sins ... yet the Catholic Church insists on the falicy that Christ, God and the holy Spirit are all 3 the same and yet separate, which is actually a pagan teaching which came into the Catholic Church after the Apostles died off and false teachings became prevailant in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church insists on using the Cross in its worship, even tho Jesus died on a torture stake. The cross wasn't even being used by the Romans at that time in history.
The Catholic church pushed the celebrating of Easter and Christmas onto its followers as a way of incorporating pagan beliefs into its 'christian' philosophy and thus bringing non-christian , pagan peoples into the Christian Churcdh. Sort of a "we'll do this if you'll come to our church"deal.

there are some of the fundalmentalist, includig some of the Baptist Churches that teach that Catholics are not Christian.
Some of thier publications, such as Chick Publications, make tracts that teach you how the Catholic Church is the anti Christ and that all of thier teachings are that of the devil
So you have entire groups within the Protestants churches, and a group or two that do nothing but attack the Catholics.

ok here we go
why do catholics not teach from the bible
why do you have to kneel and cross yourself when you walk in their church i do believe the bible tells us NOT to bow down to any idols
why is it one mistake and you are excommunicated did not Jesus teach us to be forgiving
why would you call the priest, pastor, friar or whatever father is that so you are closer to god
ONLY god can forgive sin that is thru his son and only if you ask for it in prayer
why is it catholics have big fancy prayer when Jesus tells us to pray like this and quote the lords prayer

Only the very fanatical teach that Catholics are not Christian. Everyone else knows that Catholics and Protestant are both Christian sects, and both off their rockers.

This is normal. All the christian sects hate each other because they are after the same market share. It's like coke and pepsi.
