For those unfamiliar with these terms, Protestantism is really like "I do whatever the fuck I want and God will love me and I will feel like I am a good person" religion. It's detrimental to society and lead to the clusterfuck we have today in America.
Do yourself a favor, if you're protestant convert to something else, like catholicism, or orthodoxy, or if you feel like you want to be kebab, Islam is better than fucking Protestantism.

You must not go to a Southern Baptist church, burgerbro.

Rise of the Merchant One of the most powerful cities in history, also had nothing going for it in the beginning. At first look it was not supposed to succeed. Unlike other towns in the region like Lucca, Pisa, and Siena, Florence did not have a shoreline, so no sea trade like the Venetians, it did not have direct acess to trade routes on the land. It did not have any immediate access to natural resources, and it had limited agricultural production capabilities. Yet in spite of this it became one the largest cities in Europe with 120,000 living there. And outside of Rome itself, it was the wealthiest city and the greatest source of Renaissance art. The Florin was the American Dollar of the day.
Florence has little to no records of transactions until about the early 1100s, probably because of high taxes. Before this Merchants in Florence would use proxy towns in the surrounding area like Pisa, Lucca, and Siena to do business, where there are plenty of records of contracts and banking loans. But suddenly the same years that transactions took place in Florence the 1st walls of Florence were built (paid for by taxes). Florence made most of it's money selling wool and silk, and interest on banking loans. From the Levant, to all of Western Europe, and North Africa, it was the bank of Kings and Popes. Florence was where the Medici lived, who practically ruled all of Europe, and with their peers, they financed the entire Renaissance. It was the Medici that found and funded great artists like Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Pietro Perugino, Donatello, and Leonardo da Vinci, and 4 Popes were from that family.

>lead to the clusterfuck we have today in America America was settled by puritans who thought the church of England was too Catholic. Among our Founding Fathers, only one was Catholic and few people even remember him. America is a holy land to the Mormon people in the West while the Catholic holy land is all the way in the Vatican or Jerusalem. I don't know which religion best represents America, but our history has very little to do with Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or Islam.

Revenge of the Goy Their power slowly increased from the 1100s to 1500s, with a brief ShekelShoah right before the Black Plague in the mid 1300s. But after the black plague the Merchants they prospered bc God took care of the filthy goyim. Then suddenly something happened. In the 1500s trade contracted, kings stopped doing taking out loans, cities refused to commerce with Florence and dozens of other Merchant cities in Italy that also financed the Renaissance. At first it was in Northern Germany, and England but then it spread all through out Europe, until Florence totally shut down all it's banking and trading to Italy exclusively, except for certain places in Spain, France, and the city of Amsterdam. They were so skilled and YET in spite of overcoming every obstacle, especially early on, it became a husk of it's former glory all in a single century. The very same century as the Protestant Reformation. You see Protestants hated to commerce with Roman Catholics or Jews altogether. Suddenly all these patrons of the arts were without money to fund the Renaissance, so the Renaissance ended, choking them out in competition all over Europe until Florence had no power to even outsell Protestant made fabrics in their own city. This was the Great Shekel War with the Business Goy and his Reforming friends and the Merchant lost, so the Renaissance had to be shut down. This was the second ShekelShoah of this age. So they packed up their bags and sailed all over the seven seas taking their florins and shekels with them. This commenced the Golden Age of Piracy in 1600 and 1700s.

america is commonly understood to be protestant. In fact, the founding fathers were mostly protestant. Protestantism shares a lot of dogmas, like the ones I described (the last 4) and more. It then split and split and split and lead to today's clusterfuck.

You don't get protestantism it seems. They believe having faith is required for you to be saved by jesus christ in the end. Show me the protestant who says he will do whatever he wants and god will be ok with it. I don't see many protestants saying that but you're the expert aren't you?

Yes all true...and that's why the US are a cancer on earth. Your hellhole of a country was founded by Protestant Freemasons, all crypto-kikes with one goal in mind...enslave the world. I say, they're doing a real fine job...
Protestants believe that they themselves are qualified to interpret the Bible. That's how many churches started, Calvin thought this was the way, so he made his own church. I'm not even mentioning how two methodist churches might have different dogmas. It's essentially "I understand the bible this way so that's what I'm going to do"
Owen Hall
good screencap. Let's not go into discussion over orthodoxy vs catholicism, but this is exactly why protestantism is sin: it's a product of pride.

What specific clusterfuck are you talking about? America has always had a lot of different religious beliefs. That's the entire reason we have religious freedom. A unified state religion does not ensure that the people will avoid becoming leftists, it only ensures that everyone will have the same beliefs. If the state goes leftist, so does the population.
Nicholas Lewis
What makes a person unqualified to interpret the Bible, or any religious works?

Jesus was a communist beta turn-the-other-cheek faggot.
A real god would have slain the Romans and worn their guts as garters.

I'm quoting myself by giving the definitions of "apostolic succession" as well as implying something protestants actually believe and I would imply people in this thread would know.
Brody Barnes
I could have written a better gospel. It would have been more akin to Terminator 2: Judgment Day than Luke or John.
Jesus would have worn a necklace of the ears of his enemies, rather than just multiplying fish like a Captain D's Houdini.
