Church meetings are, as far as I can tell, originated from "Where two or more are gathered together in my name, there I am with them." And as for Catholicism.. I agree that a lot of it is unnecessary. The uniforms, holy water, rituals, using prayers as a counter to sin by repeating them, Hail Mary's (wherever they came from), confessions to priests, priests in general, praying to saints/Mary, etc etc is all stuff that as far as I know was never in the Bible. Warning: If you are Catholic, this link WILL offend you. I didn't make it up, and I didn't mean to insult or offend anyone.

I stopped reading when they made a big deal about Baal.

If anyone has done some research on the subject of the origin of religion, then they'd know that zoroastrianism, the religion of the Persian's, was the root of any belief in angels and that kind of thing. A great deal of Christianity roots back to pagan religions, and not just Catholicism.

Your posting something from chick?

People actually take that guys complete idiocy seriously?

Christian.  Why? raised that way.  No care to change, God is God and I believe in him.  Everyone has everything conceivable backing up the fact that God doens't exist/can't exist/impossible/things don't add up/"facts", but they left one thing out, and it's something that keeps most Christians going.  Faith.

My 2¢, now disprove/laugh/post facts/flame away.

I'm insane. I accidentally thought you were Big Jim and for some reason I thought it was addressed specifically to me. My bad, doing like 16 things at once.

Every other Christian denomination roots from the Catholic Church, compliments of Calvinism and Martin Luther. Actually the Morman faith was not born out of a previous Christian Religion. Not that it matters much but just an FYI.

Okay, every other denomination except the Mormans, I stand corrected. Funny I should forget that because one of my best friends who moved away was a very active Morman. In any case, our friend here is not Morman.

I'll let Sandman explain cause I'll admit I have'nt been too sharp with my wording today.

And on a larger scale, Christianity came from Judaism, as did Islam.

Big Jim wrote: I am a CHRISTIAN, I've already explained what that is in this thread. I go to Calvary Bible Church. We base our faith directly from the Bible.(The King James Version.) I don't go to any fancy church, or do any special ceremonies, I go there to worship God.

Catholics are Christian. Baptists are Christian. There is a big difference, one example being a literal interpretation of the Bible as compared to people understand that Bible holds significance, but it not meant to be used as a history book. There are a lot of other examples, but I think the point has been proven. So you're a non-denominational Christian?

If you honestly had questioned your own faith as you said before, I'd expect you to realize that there is more to Christianity than one set of beliefs. Hell, I'd actually have expected you to even research completely different religions, even if only to strengthen your beliefs in your Christian ideas.

And nice dodging my last post, by the way.

EDIT: Not last post, the one where I challenged the adherence of your actions to your Christian teachings and stuff...
