    Correction: Catholicism is not a denomination. It's as much as a different religion as Mormonism is.

  • I know your stance and it appears to be a minority that think this way, if you look at my post I linked most people consider all of them denominations of Christianity.

  • If you have also noticed, your repliers don't use any verses to substantiate their belief, and the atheists that have responded obviously don't use the Bible since no duh they're atheists, and the person you chose as the answer to your thread not only exhibited what I just stated, but they also are a Ninja (that's like asking the teacher, "Who's side our you on?" it's very childish).

  • [quote]If you have also noticed, your repliers don't use any verses to substantiate their belief[/quote]Go in the post and reply to some of them. One might argue verses aren't necessary considering the debate is if all sub-denominations are Christians not about different practices.[quote]and the atheists that have responded obviously don't use the Bible since no duh they're atheists, [/quote]The post isn't relevant to atheist and I don't even think any really commented.[quote]and the person you chose as the answer to your thread not only exhibited what I just stated,[/quote]At least its not biased garbage like your answer here. (Lets save that debate for another time) The answer I chose was an unbiased answer that I felt currently answered the question. If someone provides a better one I would gladly change it.

    I didn't say all of evolution is false; hence, this OP's title. LOL. Religious people, especially those in Christianity, believe that the age of the earth, species branching into "new" species, and origins of the earth is what we consider to be disagreeable.

It originated among the Jewish followers of Jesus of Nazareth, who believed that he was the promised Messiah (or ‘Christ’), but the Christian Church soon became an independent organization, largely through the missionary efforts of St. Paul. In 313 Constantine ended official persecution in the Roman Empire and in 380 Theodosius I recognized it as the state religion. Most Christians believe in one God in three Persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) and that Jesus is the Son of God who rose from the dead after being crucified; a Christian hopes to attain eternal life after death through faith in Jesus Christ and tries to live by his teachings as recorded in the New Testament[/spoiler][/quote] Do i need to get more things that prove the answer i selected?

    Yes because we know what Christianity is based off of already, but we have "ravening wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7).

    It's not about practices; it's about dogma. It's not about the most etiquette opinion; it's about substantiation.
