Who has more fun--Catholics or Protestants?

[Terry1]

Maybe I should've made this a poll and included some other religions as well--

[William Tell]

Mormons?

[bunklocoempire]

Well, there's fun, and then there's joy.

Of course you already knew an uppity Lutheran was going to reply with something like that.

[Suzanimal]

Catholics, we don't have to pretend we don't drink.

I think the good Friar may have been a bit Druidic.

The ancients knew what they were doing.

Corporate, mass produced alcohol has really ruined beer. Beer is a natural pro-biotic drink. The yeast break down the more harmful chemicals in grain. Brewers yeast is very high in B-complex vitamins which alcohol leaches from the body and leads to hangovers. Mass produced beer filters out the nutritious yeast.

I homebrew and leave a bit of yeast in. It's a wonder food in moderation on many levels.

Baptists have the least fun

Q: Why is it wise for a Catholic to take two Baptist fishing?
A: So they'll keep an eye on each other and not drink his beer.



Universal truths:
Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Protestants don't recognize the pope as the head of the Christian Church.
Baptist don't recognize each other in the liquor store.

I believe he was a Lollard, so essentially a Protestant.

LOL!

How could that coincide with the time of Robin Hood?

Interesting, thanks. I always assumed him to be an eccentric Catholic.

Catholics have the No Meat Friday thing. Kind of a bummer that you can't go have a burger after work on Friday.

Versions of Robin Hood legends changed over the centuries. Friar Tuck doesn't begin to appear in them until after the time of the Lollards in the 14th-15th centuries. And there was an outlaw Lollard, named Robert Stafford, who had a nickname Frere Tuck, or something like that. He wouldn't have been a Catholic friar, but just used the epithet frere, which means brother.

Not if you're drunk.

Sure you can,, it's Saturday somewhere.

That's only during lent these days.

Both Protestants and Catholics can have lots of fun but if you put them in a group, I choose the Catholics. That alcohol thing.

Interesting... I always thought he was a badger.

Catholics, no contest here.

My Catholic family: fun, loving, argumentative, rambunctious, loves culture and food. Most of it is peasant food, but it's really good peasant food.


The Baptist in-law family: preachy, nosy, judgmental, not much culture, bad food. I mean really bad food. The great-grandparents had their 50th wedding anniversary last summer and someone decided that sloppy joes and potato chips were the thing to make it even more special. I have another in-law event to attend on Monday...more sloppy joes. I'm bringing salad, even though they requested that we bring baked beans. The only thing I hate more than sloppy joes is baked beans.

I think I understand now why my Danish grandmother used to bring her own salad dressing and seasonings, even to a restaurant.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to amy31416 again.

I have lots of Baptists on both parents' sides. My experience with the food is very similar to yours. :P

gonna have to agree. I knew nothing of anything catholic growing up but since adulthood all my best friends and lovers have had catholic backgrounds and families.

[amy31416]

All I can say is that my experience with Baptists makes me appreciate my Catholic relatives a whole lot.

I second this - we do have St. Patrick's Day btw

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Oh, come on, now. This can't be a serious question.

The best movies, TV shows, and songs have elements of Catholicism. Catholics have colorful looking windows in their churches. Catholics have icons and other cool mysteries. Graduates of their parochial schools tell the best stories. Catholicism in Italy, Spain, and Latin America means they have more good looking women. Catholics even rival Jews and Islam in the joke department.

The 98 year old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They gave her some warm milk from their cow to drink but she refused. Then one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount into the warm milk. Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop. "Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some wisdom before you die."

She raised herself up in bed and with a pious look on her face said, "Don't sell that cow.
