"The identity of Roman Catholicism and the woman in Revelation 17 is the subject of a scholarly work entitled The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop. In his words...."


So okay, let us consider this statement and DCP's defense of it : “Judaism is satanic, Catholicism is demonic, and Protestantism is Christless,” (and Lee's LC is the Shining City of Perfection on Top of the New Jerusalem).

Let's say I'm someone that found this site on the web, and because religion seems to be a huge problem on the earth, I 'm intrigued by all three claims. So I read on. I'm aware that religious prejudice and bias exists but I'm looking for why people in religion can be so hateful.

I'm reading along and find that they use Alexander Hislop as a basis for their argument against the Catholic church ; that the church is the whore mentioned in Rev. 17.

Well that would be the end of my reading. Why? Because they use a Protestant Presbyterian of the 19th century to support their claim about the RCC, and by their own claim, "Protestantism is Christless.” Which means Alexander Hislop is Christless.

I would stop reading because I found their logical to be contradicting itself. Therefore their claim that : “Judaism is satanic, Catholicism is demonic, and Protestantism is Christless,” is defeated by their own argument, by using Protestantism to support their claim, who they themselves dismiss in their claim.

I would conclude therefore that all I found on this site was just another example of how hateful religious people can be. I would browse on, looking for reasons, and hopefully solutions, to why religious people have become more of a problem on the earth than a solution, and would dismiss Jesus as an answer because as this DCP website exemplifies, Jesus people are just as hateful as all the rest.
