    I see. No problem man. Let's make ourselves better everyday.

    In what way is the Star of David, complex, bro?

    I like to attack other religions but I appreciate their beauty too sometimes.

    Generally people who are protestants are northern europeans.
    We are much less dramatic and much less passionate about religion compared to catholics i think, which are mostly southern europeans.

    I think it's just a question of culture really.

    I disagree. Protestant services are very preachy and emotional.

    Just attend an evangelical service.

    Whereas Catholics are very meditative. If you attend a Catholic Mass it isn't as fiery as a Protestant Mass.

    I agree. Catholic mass is very very formal typically

    Yes but we make up for our blandness in verbal discourse by the extravagance of our art and written treatises.

    There is a significant difference between the "mainline" Protestant churches and "Evangelical" ones.
    The first lost some members and some have become more liberal as time passes (not all).
    The second is very focused on the Bible, spreading the message, and born again experience (Fundamental, charismatic).

    Well yes but I wouldn't say less passionate... just less inclined to follow symbolism and superstition.
