Greek Orthodoxy, Ethiopian Orthodoxy as well as the Coptic Christians
Much higher emphasis on taking care of people and being a caring person.
Not sure that’s true. Christianity is pretty inherently evangelical. That’s one of the big reasons why it spread so far.
If you want to have a historical discussion about this I would be more than open to that. I have spent many years studying abrahamic religions. The three sects of Christianity that I have mentioned are all prior to romanization of the church. The Catholic church is the foundation of almost all sects of Christianity, but the Catholic church is itself a splinter group from the original church that was a sect people who still thought of themselves as Jews and were not very open to outsiders. See the whole Jew versus gentile discussion in Acts. But the long of the short is that the Roman Catholic Church did not become a thing until roughly 200AD. And it was only after that point that it became the monster from the meme. Prior to that it was the religion of the poor and downtrodden because it promised a better life after you died. Which was in direct contrast to the Roman religions where you had to pay in to get to heaven.

I’m about to go to sleep, but that’s not even close to correct.
LOL i was never catholic, i couldn’t care less if you think your sect is superior to another-- it’s ALL make-believe. santa claus for “grown-ups”
and you haven’t yet addressed the core belief of original sin, which honestly, pounding that crap into kids’ heads is child abuse if you ask me. here you are, a grown ass adult, genuinely believing that because you were born human, you and everyone else is paying the price for an equally make-believe storybook character’s egregious crime of eating “forbidden fruit”
sure “it’s allegory,” whatever. the fall of man has to do with knowledge, somehow.
i really don’t care about the details, because it’s all bullshit anyway. and there’s always someone there to preach about it. thank you for illustrating that point
