If ur white European I don't get why you'd choose Protestantism which has dull aesthetics over Catholicism? Being Catholic seems more virtuous. Thousands of years of years of tradition but you'd rather be southern Alabama Baptist?
>>215942079We went into protestantism from catholicism, Luther was the chief priest
In what kind of country you have churchgoers pulling out phones to film the office
>>215942079>why wouldnt you pick catholicism, look how FABULOUS the clergy look in their dresses and the interior design is just so CUTE compared to your drab churchesyou are a gay man, like 90% of catholic clergymen
My religious convictions have nothing to do with how white I am or where in the world my ancestors came from. God has called me through His Word and saved me by grace through faith given in Holy Baptism and nourished in Communion. I have no need to purchase merit stored in any heavenly treasury. That is why I am a Lutheran Christian, and not a member of the Roman church.
protestantism:>oy veeeey all that gold wasted in a church, how much does the cross carving cost? 1 shekel? this is like another auschwitz! we could have invested that 1 shekel and turned a profit of 0,00000001 shekels in 20 years!
>>215942217Megachurches encourage it
>>215942466>God has called me through His Word and saved me by grace through faith given in Holy Baptism and nourished in Communion. I have no need to purchase merit stored in any heavenly treasury.Brother, you just described me. And I am a Roman Catholic
>>215942079i really don't like cucktholicism aesthetics
>>215942079Fucking ESL bot on a paycheck
>>215942079>why you'd choosechristianity was never chosen, only imposed by the sword>>215942217my church had a band and a dog named spirit
>>215942079False dichotomy
>>215943478Then God be praised, brother!
>>215942079A southern alabama baptist has more SOVL than any christian in europe
>>215942079Because the point is to worship god not Aesthetics.
>>215942079catholics are lazy gluttons
>>215942079He Catholic Chuch has been corrupt for centuries, Pope Francis argued against converting Jews to Christianity.
>>215942079Protestantism is for Christians who don't want to actually live like a Christian
>>215942079>If ur white European I don't get why you'd choose Protestantism which has dull aesthetics over Ca-ACK!
>>215942079Prots simply hated meds. It's sadly just another g*rmanic and n*rdic hatecrime against italians
>>215942079>If ur white European I don't get why you'd choose christianityMe neither
>>215942217it happens if you're a dumb mutt larper i suppose
>>215942079Aesthetics matter if your mind is too primitive and slow that you can't appreciate the spoken word.Northern Europe is protestant because the austerity and cerebrality are core to the white nordic man's thinking unlike the enthralled brown cattle's superstitions.
>>215942079Either way you are worshipping a brown Asian man.
>>215942079>Why don't people pick their faith and spiritual beliefs based purely on material aesthetics????This stupid question perfectly explains the whole "Christian revival" bullshit about Zoomers. Literally cargo culting religious piety without actually having any of it.
>>215942079>Thousands of years of years of traditionIf you're American then being a Baptist from Alabama *is your* tradition and culture. Pretending that you're Italian just because you thought Crusaders looked cool isn't really any more "rooted" or anything, your authentic self will always largely be determined by the surrounding environment you are from rather than the imagined scenery or imagined community
Real europeans don't follow sandshit cults
>>215942079because its obviously made up when every early christian oracle document is a forgery If i wanted to play make believe i would be something else so at least then my schizoid delusions are more interesting then the 500th guy who thinks hes jesus
>>215942079Catholicism is anti-American. Get out of our country, papist!
>>215945092Jewish post
>>215942079>raises handThe aesthetics are fine and I admire the historical role Catholicism played in fending off the mohammedan horde (saving Europe from the madman's baal worshipping cult) and the glorious, beautiful, and righteous First Crusade. I still go to Catholic mass every now and then as I'm very ecumenical.However... I have strong theological differences with both Catholics and Orthodox, the Protestant position is much more reasonable from my pov, and doctrinally is closer to the Primitive Church of the 1st century described in Acts and the Epistles than what came after.No shade on them, they are still my fellow Christians, believers in the Triune God.That said OP, you know there are "high churches" within the Protestant branch, which seems to be your inclination?
>>215943596>christianity was never chosen, only imposed by the sword To believe this - common mohammedan slander - you have to ignore the first 300 years of Christianity where it took the Levant, Asia Minor, North Africa by storm, and extended much further than that - all through the work of missionaries and the blood of martyrs.The religion that was born through the sword and imposed that way from the start was mohammed's war cult.
>>215945105national socialism is atheist
>>215942466Based.>>215945030Not really, but for all you're seething there's a beautiful revival going on in Europe and plenty of people leaving other cults for Christianity. When I attend Catholic mass it's packed, half of it young people. My own Church has had to change places several times in the past few years due to needing more space.The only religion I see dying here is islam. Diaspora either go atheist or become Christian, they also get a few secular euros who never had any interest in religion or education to convert and after 2-3 years 75% of them leave, often due to becoming very religiously inquisitive, seeing how the whole mohammedan cult is a sham, and either become Christian or atheist.
>>215945030Zutt
>>215942079current catholic church direction is ridiculous. full of faggots and other shit that would be blasphemy and heresy 100 years ago.on the flip side, you do get to wear this
>>215945620islam will never recover, it has been destroyed by the internet. The islamic dilemma itself remains undefeated.The Age of the ZUTTENING
Because tradcaths are pedophiliac to a degree that is unmatched by any religion today. Worldwide as well.>330K in France alone
>>215945399Former Catholic but don't you think Catholic Church veneration of saints, Mary come off as idol worship?
if you want profane idolatry just become a pagan it would also fit your chud ideology bettersince they had no qualms with venerating child murderers , rapists and matricides
>>215945796as I said, I have many theological differences with them, that being one of them. Though even the iconography is nowhere near as disturbing as the praying to, I'm ok with the statues and stuff.
>>215945553Atheism is a Jewish psyop to weaken Christianity
>>215945700Glass houses, mudslime.You niggers even rape your own granddaughters.
>>215945700
>>215945700Any mildly honest menanigger will say how common it is
>>215942079I don't care about faith at all, but I could appreciate societal benefits a religion brings. There is no difference whatsoever between the two. The only religion that would bring tangible benefits is Islam, which I will be happy to convert to once it becomes popular enough that child brides become legal again.
The reason Protestantism has dull aesthetics is because Protestant countries were more successful and it lead to Protestantism defining the modern world. Boring secular everyday Americanized life IS the Protestant aesthetic.Catholic countries wanted to get rich too and after 150 years of unrest over anti-clericalism even the conservatives realized the church was flaky and incompetent when it came to governing and settled on pretending to pay attention on Sundays while shutting them out of most of their influence on secular life.
>>215946340The only religion americans follow is the dollar Your chrismas traditions come from a coca cola ad, nice protestant ethic
>>215945942>>215945979>>215946013miserable attempt at damage control>330k raped children by tradcatchs in France alone Imagine the global scale of Catholic pedophilia
>>215945942>You niggers even rape your own granddaughters.you too
>>215946833Joke's on you
>>215946865i mean your religion born from pedophilia from god/holy-spirit-epstein himself not saint or prophet
>>215944240>>215945656Post the sexy hebe in that outfit pic
>>215942079Because humans deciding another human is infallible is ludicrous. Its also cucked. Also, those thousands of years of tradition involve so much degeneracy and corruption that spoils any moral authority it claims to have. All your arguments are completely superficial.
>>215942079>aestheticsWhy does that matter for your beliefs?
>>215948899This one?
>>215942079>aestheticsPretty much sums American "Christians" perfectly.
