I've been relatively quiet during this discussion because on the whole it's been polite, dignified and informative. This however crosses the line. There is no need to post anything that is anti any one religion. I'm Roman Catholic and I find this very offensive. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything. There are rotten priests/ministers/rabbis in every religion, that doesn't make the religion evil. This discussion was started as an explanation of the terms Evangelische, Lutheran, and Protestant. It did not start in order to criticize one religion over another. Please take your hatred elsewhere. And let this be the end of this discussion. It just proves you can't discuss religion or politics without it turning nasty.
