Please do not be deceived by teslasagan as you will find significant rhetoric and zero substance from his/her posts as evidenced earlier in this thread.

A Christian believes the Bible 100%. Under Christianity are Catholics and Protestants branching into many denominations/factions depending on interpretation of the Bible, see truth.i_n_f_o/church/catholic.vs.protestant.htm (again, spaces to fool youtube to post). John 3:16 says it all. Believe in Jesus, the Son of God, died, buried, rose again for your sins, follow His Word and you are a Christian.

I recommend bible-knowledge._c_o_m/Trinity-God-Jesus-Holy-Spirit.html (spaces only to trick youtube to post) to help you understand the Trinity. This is a supernatural concept we are trying to wrap our human mind around...not always easy!

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. - Richard Dawkins

Hello there.I'd like to know what's the difference between a Catholic and a Christian. Also, could someone kind enough explain the trinity (God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) to me? Thank you!

I am astounded to discover that what I was attempting to do was "influence a weak-minded individual". Judging by your eloquence and impressive vocabulary, you don't seem a weak-minded individual to me. And in my way of thinking, schools (and the people that try to force-feed evolution as fact) and the media and other "non-religious" avenues strive even more so to "brainwash [children] into thinking certain ways, police their own thoughts and become willing slaves."~ a dumb religious loser
