cmotherofpirl Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The choice is either Catholic or Jewish, since those are the only ones founded by God. The rest are just knock-offs and carry no protection by the Holy Spirit. [color=blue]If you are a member of the Jewish faith, your religion was founded by Abraham about 4,000 years ago. If you are a Hindu, your religion was developed in India around 1,500 B.C. If you are a Buddhist, your religion split from Hinduism, and was founded by Buddha, Prince Siddhartha Gautama of India, about 500 B.C. If you are Catholic, Jesus Christ began your religion in the year 33. If you are Islamic, Mohammed started your religion in what is now Saudi Arabia around 600 A.D. If you are Eastern Orthodox, your sect separated from Catholicism around the year 1000. If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-Monk of the Catholic Church, in 1517. If you belong to the Church of England (Anglican), your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to remarry. If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded when John Knox brought the teachings of John Calvin to Scotland in the year 1560. If you are a Unitarian, your religious group developed in Europe in the 1500's If you are a Congregationalist, your religion branched off from Puritanism in the early 1600's in England. If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1607. If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744. If you are an Episcopalian, your religion was brought over from England, to the American colonies and formed a separate religion founded by Samuel Seabury in 1789. If you are a Mormon (Latter-Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your church in Palmyra, N.Y., NOT Salt Lake City, which would have been my guess. The year was 1830. If you worship with the Salvation Army (yes, it's a religious group, not just an organization that collects money in kettles on Christmas and serves dinners to the homeless), your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865. If you are a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year your religion was founded by Mary Baker Eddy. If you are a Jehovah's Witness, your religion was founded by Charles Taze Russell in Pennsylvania in the 1870's. If you are a Pentecostal, your religion was started in the United States in 1901. If you are an agnostic, you profess an uncertainty or a skepticism about the existence of God or a Higher Being. If you are an atheist, you do not believe in the existence of God or any other higher power. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to hold that monopoly on truth with a choke chain. *rolls eyes* You know that you left out earth based religions completely with that little timeline, right?

Sojourner Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Protestant to Catholic. It's been over a year now since I left the Protestant world, almost 8 months since I actually became Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Pagan animistic religions don't really factor into that kind of chart bro. Who started them? Who knows? Some guy who heard a tree talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I wish I had the source with me - it even gave the name of the founder - some eccentric English chap.) Wicca basically seems to be a "made-up" religion for the godless.
