TBF, the structural differences if the protestant faith and the catholic faith were viable at the start. The catholics had a reformation and because they actually looked at the protestant doctrines and were like "yeah, ya'know, fair" to a lot of them. Meanwhile, Protestantism got popular with the the elites because they misinterpreted Martin Luther's philosophy to basically say that just paying lip service to God can still get you into heaven and so they could save a bundle on tithes and treat faith a performance art. Which is how you got assholes like the Calvinists.

In case you were thinking I was feeding into the thesis of the thread, neither of them are wholly correct, which is true of most religions, but if you look at the them purely objectively, Catholicism is "more correct" than Protestantism, as Catholics at least expect their practitioners to perform "good works" in their communities as a requirement rather than a strong suggestion.

Case in point: I absolutely LOVE The Lord of the Rings films. Absolute masterpieces that haven't aged A DAY.

Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring" had me asleep in 25 pages.

Fun fact: 100 Billion is a lot of money. That is only 10% of what Elon Musk is worth. If Elon gave every American (about 350 million last I checked), $1M, that would only put a dent in his wealth to the tune of just over 1/3rd of 1% of his wealth. These Uber wealthy need to shut up about needing more money. They have so much that they could loose an amount that would be literally life-changing to most of us and would barely notice it, if an accountant didn't say anything to them.

Then why are you in here pissing on my carpet? If you are not interested in joining a server why post in a thread about what kind of servers you like/ potentially are willing to join. Seems like a waste of time to me 😕

You are entitled to your opinions, though, so don't think I was being hostile.

we must be using different discord versions because i have the wondrous ability to tune that crap out. Also a 2 inch banner at the bottom of the window that takes up only half of one of my screens is not "in your face" monetization.

But more to the point; This might not be the server for you, specifically.
