Every single time

the hagia sophia is a mosque

>>212850460 (OP)
What a stupid fucking post lmao. The Berliner Dom and St Paul's in London were never Catholic and both are built post reformation.
OP is so Americanised that he literally thinks Protestants only exist in the USA lol

>>212850460 (OP)
well, it's kinda about going to the roots where the religion was about living a humble and simple life

>>212850493
england is catholic though

>>212850493
>he literally thinks Protestants only exist in the USA lol
no sadly they exist elsewhere

>>212850460 (OP)
I like to think of everything in the world as a positive force (energy) or a destructive force (entropy). Protestantism is very, very destructive in every sense of the word.

Have you considered consulting the gospels to see what Jesus said about the purpose of a church, and idol worship?
You cannot serve both God and Mammon, idolator.

>>212850526
>I like to make up my own spiritualist LARP about things that has nothing to do with Christianity, ignore the teachings of the Christ, and worship corruption and worldly things
Yep, it's a Catholic.

>>212850460 (OP)
That is kind of the point, you dumb fuck.

>>212850460 (OP)
That’s why Protestantism is good thoughever.

>>212850637
I'm not religious or spiritual at all. I only see real world patterns.

>>212850543
it's been 600 years already
give it a rest

>>212850662
The point of protestantism was for northern kings to create their own churches where they are the equivalent of popes so that they wouldn't have to pay taxes to the vatican

It's sad that Christians turned public buildings of justice and commerce like basilicas into houses of idolatry

>>212850526
How can it be destructive if it bascially built the greatest countires on earth?

catholic countries outside of western europe or latin america don't have any notable church

>>212850493
they exist here and their churches are shit in 99% of cases

>>212851094
?

>>212850460 (OP)
Uhhhhhh it's actually this one for protestant

>>212850460 (OP)
Considering that most the catholic churches near me built after ww2 are ugly abominations, I'd said the issue is modern architecture not protestantism

>>212850460 (OP)
Why are material possessions so important to you, anon?

>>212850778
The vatican sold pardons for non canon waiting room named "limbo".
People paid to buy their beloved ones entries to heaven against all teachings of the actual scriptures.

Protestants don't believe the house of hod needs to be extravagant.

>>212851094
What a weird thing to say.

>oh you thought good deeds would get you sent to heaven?
>umm akshually, we don't do that in Germany
>the bible says that you can rape a gajillion children to death but as long as you believe in Jesus you will go to heaven
>also you HAVE to be miserable on earth
>and none of this le hecking matters anyways
...t-thank you, protestantism....?

>can we have cushions on wood benches they are uncomfortable?
>No ass pain bring you closer to God

>>212852833
If you believed in jesus you wouldn't do bad things thoughalbeit

I don't know shit about religion, but first of all probably >>212850493
And second, wasn't the whole thing of protestants that they were mad about the pope taking money "in the name of god" to build a huge cathedral?

>>212853078
No the pope spent most of this money on parties and fighting wars. The cathedrala were paid for by the local church and burghers

Churches should be remote places of quiet contemplation thoughbeit

>>212852826
dig it
>>212854608
did that church take shrooms

>>212850469
for now

kek
how fucking cucked are the orthodox

Imagine squabbling with your Christian brothers when the Muslim horde is once again at and beyond the doorstep of Evropa, for the gorillionth time in history, and this time welcomed in by your "leaders".

Protestantism: the religion that deleted 1500 years of tradition and replaced it with a PowerPoint sermon

>>212850722
it was a Cathedral for 900 years before that, so...

>>212855978
>Kimchi trying to comment on something they know shit about.

Ameribros, ever been in one of these churches?

>>212850543
>>212855439

Anglicanism is just catholicism lite

luther brewed beer in his spare time and loved to shitpost

>>212857853
I love these ngl

>>212855809
ironically this is exactly how the catholic church talked about the reformation

>>212857853
I once stayed at a hotel near one of these in Texas and was free on a Sunday. Really regret not going, they don't exist in the northeast.

>>212850493
Anglicans are pretty much Catholics but subject to the monarchy rather than the Pope. I remember hearing that most catholic priests think of them as brothers rather than heretics

>>212857853
I'd go just for shits and giggles

cope fuckers
Berliner Dom and St Paul's prove you WRONG

>>212850460 (OP)
I still don't understand the hate for protestants. It's the same fucking faith. Every retard hating on other denominations are no better than Muslims with their Shia vs Sunni bullshit.

>>212859319
shia vs. sunni is a political split, the theological differences between catholicism and various protestant denonimations are more profound

>>212859341
It's people getting blinded by details, they don't see the whole. Both are flawed in their own way.

>>212857853
Not quite that big, but close. It felt more like a Christian Rock concert than an actual service and I wouldn't do it again. There was a cafe, childrens play area, pool, book store, restaurant, etc. on the property for members to use lol

>>212850469
then replace it with the fucking kremlin or whatever the real name is

>>212859466
I just hate tradcath chud morons online desu

Prots are literal barbarian perverts though

Why do you idiots reply to these obvious bait threads?

>>212850460 (OP)
Not true, many Protestants build nice churches, but you're also forgetting that most of the great, world-historical products of European church architecture, whether Catholic or Protestant, were built before the Reformation. Criticising Protestants for not creating great architecture anymore is like criticising Protestants for not having great composers anymore, it reflects just as badly on Catholics, the only difference is that the Catholics LARP with their kitsch and unoriginal modern day churches, mass-compositions and consumerist Mary icons. Once a great age of art is over, it can't just be willy nilly resurrected by imitation.

>>212850493
This.

>>212850526
You're too low iq to know anything about the creativeness of Protestant Germanic and Anglo culture.
