Is this some sort of remnant of evangelical puritan protestant ideology?

I don’t understaun this.

If you ask me, it’d make as much sense as Orthodox and Christians… or Shia and Muslim…

I know not all Christians are Catholics but for feck’s sake…

They’re all Christians to me…

Edit:

It’s a U.S thing but this is the sort of things I hear…

I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?

I now know more distinctions (apparently Catholicism requires duty and salvation is process, unlike Protestantism?) but I still think they’re of a similar branch (Christianity) so I just wonder the social factor

    Because some sects of Christianity (mostly Southern Baptist) are fucking insane and spiteful.

    I can maybe understand it if they’re talking about UUs. Speaking as one, we’re not entirely sure what the hell we are either. We’re in committee trying to figure that out. </self_deprecating_joke>

      Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!"
      He said, "Nobody loves me."
      I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
      He said, "Yes."
      I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?"
      He said, "A Christian."
      I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?"
      He said, "Protestant."
      I said, "Me, too! What franchise?"
      He said, "Baptist."
      I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?"
      He said, "Northern Baptist."
      I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
      He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist."
      I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?"
      He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region."
      I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?"
      He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.
      I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
