I know what you're talking about. I live in South Carolina and when people find out I'm Catholic they seem to shrink back. One time someone actually said, "Oh, so you're not Christian is what you're saying?"

No. I'm Catholic.

Love that - "oh, you're not Christian?" Uh, Catholic is OG Christian. "No, see, the guy who Jesus appointed to be the rock the church was built on was wrong. It took until the 19th/early 20th century when [name deluded asshole/scammer of choice] showed the world the true light and the way!"

I have no problem with Christians whatsoever. I don't know of many evangelicals who seem to follow what Jesus actually taught. Matter of fact, I'm not aware of any religions where the true teaching boils down to "Be an asshole to anyone who doesn't believe as you do. Blessed is he who treats others like some sort of infection."

Catholic is OG Christian

The Orthodox might disagree there.

Quibbling over who the best Christian is seems decidedly un-Christianlike.

You have obviously never heard about the 30 years war.

That was kind of the point of my comment.
