A form of christianity seperate from Catholicism and Orthadox Christians. Started by German monk Matrin Luther, who when feeling unsatisfied with the catholic rapings of scripture, nailed his 95 theses on the door of a church in Wittenburg, Germany. This infuriated the Catholics and their Pope. Who in turn sought to have him excomunicated and sentenced to death. But he escpaed them and went in to hiding, where he translated the bible from it's only language of the time: Latin in to his native German. He caused Germany to break free of the corrput Roman Catholics and opened the doors to make christianity more personal. Today many branches of Protestants are in existance. A good rule of thumb is: if they ain't catholic, then they're a protestant.

Get the Protestantism mug.The most disappointing of all religions. Unlike the other crazy made up religions, protestantism is so close to getting it right. They're are a single Pope away from reaching their full potential. But instead of stepping up and making a commitment to one, holy , apostolic Church, they're stuck on this notion of "independence" of unmediated faith in Christ.
The Catholics get it, Protestants. You've had your 490 year "protest"-let's move on. Martin Luther was probably right to translate the Bible into German, but let's stop living in the past. Whenever you are ready the Church's doors are always open. We'll let you back into eternal salvation, and all you have to do is say a Hail Mary, feel a little guilty, and deliver us your massive army of lockstep values voters.

Get the protestantism mug.What's the point of going out and protesting, when you end up on your knees at the end of it, when all is said and done?
Protesting is a waste of time that could be spent waking up and fighting, or at least going to work.

Get the Protesting mug.Used euphemistically by both political spectrums to describe a flowers and cookies protest against a variety of social issues but in reality it's an excuse to be non-peaceful, riot, obstruct and dissent against public opinion.
Look at all those Canadians doing their Peaceful Protesting against vaccine mandates as they assault homeless shelters, dance and desecrate war memorials, blast airhorns constantly and take dumps on people's lawns. Good thing it's peaceful so no one gets hurt or has to take responsibility.
