 First of all, I can't tell

 First of all, I can't tell between the catholic and protestant churches. Never visited one... well maybe one in Paris ... is it catholic or protestanic? 

And I am afraid to label myself because of my job and my family.  Usually, I tell people that Russia is traditionally an orthodox christian country, there are many churches in Russia, the Russian orthodox church is similar to Greek church, they all are friends of pope of Vatican, Vatican is in Rome, Rome is in Italy, Italy is in Europe ... I love Europe, I love America, hellelujah!

 Interesting, if people believe in god, which is the same Abrahamic god, why and how can they have alternative religious views?  To me, the difference is some political b.s.

That's interesting as a

That's interesting as a metaphor, but it wouldn't make any sense to anybody who isn't familiar with Irish history.

 

The question would be better posed as "which side was more of a bastard in these historical conflicts" followed by a synopsis.

 

 

As to that, f*ck if I'm taking sides :P  That's supposed to be one of the benefits of being atheist.

Well I was married to a

Well I was married to a Catholic so I am particularly anti-Catholic but when I was a child I was literally kicked out of a Protestant Church for asking too many questions (I had the nerve to suggest it was impossible to fit all the animals in the world on a single boat) So I suppose I would take the side that offered me the most money to spy on the other side.

 

Actually on second thought, I'd just become a pirate and bail the crazy ass country. 

 

If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X

Protestant Khornate or

Protestant Khornate or Catholic Khornate?

 

...

Catholicism has a large pool of wars, crimes against humanity, crimes against *cough* children, torture, genocide, etc

Protestants... uh... nothing comes to mind off hand.

Ergo, totally Catholic Khornate

OP is possibly referring to Quentin Crisp

An Englishman in New York, who said: 

 

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist, a woman in the audience stood up and said, "Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?"
