Branch of Christianity. Protestants believe that Jesus is the head of the Church. They reject Papal authority and the percieved excesses of the Catholic church.
Protestants are also remarkably unpopular amongst a great deal of people due to the actions of a small number of them. But in the most part they are simply Christians who wish to worship without a central authority, without a buffer between man and God and without the ritualism of other branches of the faith.

Get the protestant mug."I call it Gamblor"
"The, uh, real humans wouldn't burn, ah, quite so fast. Umma-hey."
"The secret ingredient is LOVE! Stupid machine!"

Get the Professor Frink mug.A part of Christianity that separated from the Catholic church in the 1600's.It was founded by Martin Luther, but then different sects broke off. Henry VIII did not start the Episcopalian Church,he started the Anglican church of which the Episcopalian church is a part. As we all hopefully realize, people are not perfect, so you can't hate a religion because someone was mean to you and they happened to be protestant of Christian. Protestants try not to identify themselves a sect, and are trying to follow Christ. They thing that it is more important that you are a Christian and know Jesus than what denomination you happen to be part of. We do not hate Catholics, Jews, or Gays. We try to love all people, whether or not we agree with them. Protestants usually do not agree with the gay lifestyle, but that doesn't mean that we hate them. Basically, try not to judge someone or something, such as protestantism, before you know about it.

Get the protestant mug.sometimes if insecure will attempt to break your spirits in front of the class if you have a different opinion.
But your spirits are much to wise to joust with the idiot that spends day in and day out boring the hell out of you and failing to contribute anything exciting, worthwhile, and positive to society. Not all professors are bad. some know that the educational system sucks.
If i had to teach kids to remember worthless information day in and day out. I'd probably be insecure about my actions as well.
If you have a professor that only gives a shit about his own weak ego, than i suggest you go to the higher ups and ask why they hired such an intellectual weakling to lead the mass of students that pay loads of money and aren't touched by a single word that comes out of his/her mouth.

I had philosophy class today, and my Professor choked after every one of my responses that countered an insight made by Kant.
My teacher sucks Kants dick and i don't. I appreciate what Kant has to say but will continue to think for myself.

Get the professor mug.A cheap, untenured lecturer that teaches for peanuts at a university, naively hoping that they will beat the odds and one day get hired into a tenure-track position.
Dude, did you know that professor Smith is an adjunct professor, and he makes less teaching this class than I did working at Wendy's last summer? What a tool!

Get the Adjunct Professor mug.I am not a Christian myself, but I see that some of you are mistaking Protestants for being highnosed killjoys or whatever (maybe some of them are, but...). The truth is, being a protestant does not mean you're being a goodie-little-two-shoes. The difference between Catholics and Protestants is that Protestants aren't as 'faithful'. For example, they reject Papal authority. They also have priestesses and allow priests to marriage.
Basically the whole Protestant concept is that all you need to do is believe in and be faithful to god. It is then that your sins will be forgiven. Back in the 16th century, the Church sold indulgences, claiming that if you bought them, god will forgive you. Luther didn't think this was right. He thought that the Church was manipulating the people so that they could raise money for the St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome! And so he protested against the church authorities, claiming that you didn't need these indulgences. Nor did you have to attend regular masses, do pilgrimage or worship holy relics. "In a way everyone is their own temple." was his quote.
Luther's argument caused an uproar in society. The people were already sick of paying the church taxes, so they too revolted. The Reformation followed, although originally, Martin Luther never intended a revolution...
As I have learned from Urban Dictionary, the conflict between Catholics and Protestants still goes on to this very day. I hope this has opened some of your eyes and that in near future there will finally be peace between Catholics and Protestants.
If you don't think I am right about this, just google Martin Luther or next time, pay attention in history.
PS: I do understand that there are some Protestants that do wrong against Jews/Gays or anyone who is different. I find this extremely disturbing; it is not right. But then there are also catholic people like that. You find them everywhere, ...trust me.
