a form of christianity. split from roman catholic church after people realized that the pope was NOT NEEDED and not even mentioned in the Bible, and that they didnt need to be paganistic by worshiping statues and holy places and rituals and junt.
martin luther accidently got a revolution going on and some german princes,sweden,england,and even catholic france proceeded to kick the shit out of the catholic armies.
(SPANISH ARMADA PWNED BY STORM)

protestants choose to bielieve (or should) that we all have the right to talk to God one on one and not have to tell some old guy our sins.
unlike catholics and other paganistic religions, rosary beads,worship to statues and holy places are not needed to glorify God.
most catholics dont realize that most of thier religion's "tradition" is from their pre christian ancestor's pagan tendencys.

Glorify God the way you feel is best.
Pope: Peasants must pay for the great cathedral in rome, for the saints wish it to be.
Enlightened Person: Ah,Pope, you are a wise man and strong in your faith of Christ, but your the leader of a large and twisted cult, and i shall now proceed to kick your ass.

protestants defeated rome in the reformation.
that might just mean...maybe...God was on thier side?

the other 13 entries are embarrassingly inaccurate.
protestant means to protest the truth of holy scripture, and to reject all doctrines not based on the teachings of the bible (gods word revealed to man).
puritans were people who wanted to ''purify'' the church of 'popish' doctrines. henry V111 although he had a dispute with the pope was never a protestant. luther was a reformer of the papacy but he never denied the mass and ergo was never 100% protestant.
protestants reject doctrines such as the papacy, the priesthood, the 'petrine' (rock) theory, mary worship, wafer worship (the mass/transubstantiation), genuflection, crucifixes, candles, scapulars, holy water, indulgences, purgatory, etc. etc. because they are inventions of man and are not based on the bible.

A "protest" that occurred at Edgerton High School which was against bullying but in reality was because of a cat fight. The "protest" consisted of scumbags, idiots, swagfags, and the most ironic part, bullies. The people here either just wanted to skip school, friends of the girl who was in the cat fight, or they were oblivious to the truth behind the protest. After the protest people started posting on Facebook about it either saying the protest was a bunch of crap (the smart ones) or a bunch of idiots who were whining because the majority of the school thought they were idiots.
*Conversation heard while watching the Edgerton Protest*

Person 1: Look at those idiots out there freezing... this is all about the cat fight anyways!

Person 2: Yeah I know...

Idiot: Umm some of those people are my friends and this is fighting bullying!

Person 1: Then why aren't you out there?

*Minute Bell rings*

Idiot: Oh got to go to class! Sorry *flees*
