Christian is many different things with many different beliefs, but the but common "christian" definition is not the same as a catholic, catholics do not believe Jesus has risen and Christians do.

This is the state that religious fundamentalists aspire to? Minging stupidity? Congratulations james w, you serve as a perfect example to the world of the depths to which a fundie must lower his or herself in order to be successfully barbarianized.

You are not a Christian but an uneducated and rabid cultist. You know very well that the abysmal fundamentalist cults have no truck with genuine Christianity, instead, they hang on to its coat-tails to try and kid themselves and everyone else that they have a worthwhile religion. A religion that bases its madcap philosophies and doctrines on death, torture, hatred and lack of learning.

I know that with your complete decendency of fundie densedom, it matters not a whit to you whenever people demonstrate your arseholeishness. As you are now completely delivered to the forces of evil.

The Nicene creed contains the line:

....he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;

There are slight variations between the Creed of the Council of Nicaea (325AD) and the Creed of the Council of Constantinople (381AD) but this portion remains substantively identical.

The Creed is given high importance in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Assyrian Church of the East, Oriental Orthodox churches, the Roman Catholic Church, including the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Old Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Anglican Communion, and almost all branches of Protestantism, including the Reformed churches, the Presbyterian Church, and the Methodist Church.

I'd say that pretty conclusively proves that Catholics are Christians, wouldn't you ?

This just proves my point that fundies are so lacking in education that they don't know any historical facts, even about their own beliefs. If it isn't in their narrow scope, it isn't so. So much for home schooling by the unschooled.

Are they not even aware that Protestantism comes from "protest"? That the Protestant church came about because of separatism from the original Christian church which was Catholicism?

They probably don't know that the Church of England was formed by Henry VIII,
because he was unhappy with not being able to get a divorce, as a Catholic. They probably never heard of Martin Luther's disagreeing with Catholicism, and therefore starting the Protestant church, in PROTEST against the Catholics. Can they be that ignorant? Oh, never mind...

By the way the full quote is "If ignorance is bliss,'tis folly to be wise". Puts a different complexion on that old saying, doesn't it?
