Converting from the denomination of your family
What's the difference between Southern Baptist and Northern Baptist?
One is against sodomy and female pastors and one is for them.
My dad lost it when I started going to Latin mass, the reaction was bizarre and I got so much crap from everyone that I eventually gave up for a time. Nobody in my family cared when I was an atheist, but Catholicism was too far.
What were his complaints about it? His Religious background?
He's a Calvinist, but now I know his deep rooted prejudice against Catholicism is because of his libertarian americanist worldview.
You're talking about Boomers of any denomination. That's a generational cancer that we'll have to suffer for another 20-30 years before it can be excised.
Show me in the Bible where it says that happens or that people should pray to anyone besides God.
Why do you think I'm being disingenuous?
I know that… but it's part and parcel of my belief. If anyone is wondering why I'm not Orthodox it's because I find kissing the paintings of Christ/Mary to be a bizzare practice. If someone can explain the why (not that I haven't read on the subject, I just cannot wrap my head around it) I'd be glad.
How so?
They're Conservative with a capital C.
I fear this is how my parents will react. They know that the SBC totally abstracted me from Christ, but I sincerely doubt they'll bless anything but a Baptist denomination.
