[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1335946, member: 10588"] Strangely, I've never had an LTR with a protestant woman, not even a lapsed one, so I can't really refute this. All my exes were at least nominally Orthodox and Catholic when overseas because I spent a lot of time in the FSU and Latin America, or in the USA they were Mormon and one pagan (it was a strange time in my life when I wasn't going to church at all). Never managed to get close to an evenly nominally protestant woman, just had flings with them back when I was doing that kind of thing. Very strange when I think of it, because they're still the majority in the US and even in some of the places I've lived in Latin America they're a very large minority and much more dynamic than the fairly moribund Catholic majority, which they continue to cut into rather agressively. That said, I absolutely disagree with your "foaming at the mouth and spending sleepless nights hating Protestants" approach. Protestants founded the US and made it a great and powerful country, and in spite of how far from God the US has fallen we still get by to this day on the momentum our protestant forefathers started. Lots of good fruits there, as among the Catholics, Orthodox, Mormons, Jehova's Witness, and even many non-Christian religions. I suspect that what's good in all those is of God and all good works are ultimately of Christ and all have a chance at salvation according to their knowledge and ability to accept truth as they seek it while looking for it through a glass darkly, as Paul puts it.
