In general, who are more tolerant of differing religeous views--Protestants or Catholics?
I do not know. What does it really matter. Does not matter to me. What is important is that fighting and division between certain denominations end. That we all come together with our belief of Christ and stop looking at the differences but look at what we all believe to be the same and learn how to except and love each other unconditionally.

Yes, we (Christians ) are all the same. We have the promise of Jesus. That pretty much covers it for me.
I agree with what you said - except we don't love each other unconditionally. For love, to be love, inherently has to have its boundaries & standards. If (hypothetically speaking of course) I killed your mother, you would still love me, right? unconditionally, right? See my point? You can just say "love one another" instead of the condition or uncondition and then I would agree with the entire post. Cheers!
Retro:Loving unconditionally is not an emotion, It is praying for enemys as well as friends and family. It is the act of not hating when sometimes the actions can be hateful.
Sure, i understand what seybeasty says about praying is a kind of unconditional love. And not hating back someone who hates you is a kind of unconditional love, but I never said I had a problem with any other kind of denomination of Christian, so I'm glad you figured it out anyway!
Jesushelper, you need to not be so sensitive & fly off the handle so easily. I can tell by your post you were practically shouting.
Your point #1. The Church of England was very little different from the Catholic Church in that era, formed so a king could divorce his wife, and Jesus was very critical of the Pharisees, a religious group. #2. We are talking tolerance, or lack thereof, here. I fail to see your point here in relation to the question. #3. How many cases can you cite where people are jailed, tortured, or denied access to services due to their religion in this country?
1. The Anglican Church had a much broader base than Henry's divorce. Check it out.
2. Tolerance is a dirty word to some Christians. I am, not of their number.
3. The Ku Klux Klan, a Christian organisation that had new life breathed into it after WW II by a Mehtodist Minister hates Jews and Catholics, and has tortured, maimed, lynched, abused, and prevented many from exercising their loegal right to cast a vote. All in the name of Protestant White Racial Superiority in the USA. Where have you been?
Irish immigranmtsn were treated as second class citizens because they were catholics swamping a Protestant country. The Chinese who built the railroads were treated the same because they were heathens.
Those who will not learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
Hello I thought we were having an open discussion?
Not a falling out?
I was just trying to state the sexybeasty said it so well. I was pointing that out. How I feel the same way and I wanted to mention that to you Retro that, sexybeasty said it best and that is how I feel too. For some reason all weirdness happened.
I do not get it on how all the wierdness came from? If you could fill me in that would be great!
Joe
P.S.
Sexybeasty I enjoy your sense of humour and making things light. Do you want Retro and I too kiss and make up now? Here it is. The best I could do.
