- Well, Suzanne, you've demonstrated ignorance about a lot of things. I'm
- not surprised that you'd be ignorant about Protestantism too. Many
- Protestants understand that they are part of ONE holy and catholic (that
- is, universal) church. The reason that there are Protestants, Suzanne, is
- that the heirarchy of the Catholic[tm] (not catholic) was guilty of a lot
- of shady dealings in the early 16th century.
-
- Who are you to judge what a fuller expression of Christianity might be?
- As far as I'm concerned, Gordon Storga (professional atheist) or Steve
- Novak (Forgach napalmer deluxe) dropping some change in a Salvation Army
- bucket while Christmas shopping is a fuller expression of Christianity
- than anything you've written here.
