Do catholics or Protestants have it easier when it comes to what they believe about GOD and how they show it in the world?
If you had to choose would you be catholic or one of the Protestant denominations and why?
thats it! thanks!

Different doctrines, same Jesus. Same Heaven, Same Love, Same God.
I Cr 13;8a

But I choose neither, rather I go with non denominations or where ever God leads.

In some ways, Christians have it easier. They can freely practice their religion without much complaint from others. Or at least not nearly the extent that other religions get complaints. Their Holidays are also the national holidays so they have a much better chance of getting them off. They can easily find their spiritual texts and supplies. Their religion gives them credit among their peers. A Christian individual is not judged by their religion when on trial for other things. They have a myriad of scholarships, financial assistance and public assistance to support them. Its easier to get a job, adopt a child, obtain legal counsel and do other things that might require assistance from privately held companies like obtaining a line of credit.
In other ways, they have it harder. The dogma of their faith is very restrictive and guilt ridden. They are taught to feel guilty for all their natural desires. They have a strict worship regimen and many houses of worship even require them to tithe. There are many mixed messages sent out by Christian leaders and it's hard to know where to stand. They must live by todays statndard of tolerance in the secular world even though their text tells them that slavery is okay, beating disobedient children is okay, and women should be subservient to men. They have a large faith demand because so many aspects of their belief defy logic, reason and modern science.
If I had to choose between Catholic or Protestant?? Well I'm neither as I am Wiccan. I'd choose to be Wiccan. But all their was to choose from in the entire world was Catholic and Protestant. I'd be Episcopalian. They are okay with Gay people, Women and are still a tight knit community.

When I was a kid in school, I liked math the most of all the classes. Got pretty good at it too. But I liked it because in math, you don't really have to memorize stuff, or find out what the rules are for today. In history, there's memorization. In reading and writing, there's spelling rules.... except after c or in some other instances that just gotta be memorized.....
I was raised Catholic. Now I go to a non-denom church. It's easy. If it's in the bible, it's true. If it contradicts the bible, it's false.

I was raised Catholic, and made a choice, I'm Protestant. The reason being, when I got older, I read the Bible and realized the Catholic Church was lying to me. Most things they teach are against the Bible. They are leading many people to Hell.

Easier? I suppose. I'd put it to you this way, religion is like a hollywood film. The answers to what everything is going on in the movie is spoon-fed to you.

A Christian is a Christian and yes, we have it hard and it will only get worse. Depending on where you live it is deadly to be a Christian.
