Religon Q&A

[BrickCop]

Religous folks help me out here. I'm a Catholic but know very little about how the various Christan faiths differ...

In a sentence or two give me a clue!

What similarities/differences do the following have compared to Catholic beliefs:

Baptists?
Adventists?
Greek Orthodox?
Episcopalians?
Lutheran?
Mormon?
Any other major ones I missed?

You forgot Jehovah's Witnesses, I think they are similar to Mormon. They don't celebrate holidays and they pretty much believe that you need to be one of them to get into heaven.

I grew up with the Christian beliefs. My dad made us go every Sunday. I have been to a Catholic Church several times and there are a lot of differences. The way that they do a funeral is different. If I remember correctly, the church blesses the deceased person because they believe that they are giving them one last chance to make it into heaven or something of that nature. The biggest differences that I've noticed is the spiritual relationship with God that a Christian church emphasizes compared to the Catholic church. Catholicism is more ritualistic IMO. I'm not saying one religion is better than another, those were just some things that I have observed.
