christian denominations make leftists look like amateurs when it comes to splitting

I'm too lazy to edit this to "So this is where our movement came along and finally interpreted Marx right."

I grew up in the Southern Baptist church, which was literally founded and established in defense of slavery.

Denominations are odd for me.
I grew up Catholic, but right now idk if I actually belong to one.

I hesitate to call myself non-denominational because I feel like alot of churches that do are really just some form of evangelical protestant.
Not that there is anything wrong with protestantism or evangelicalism per se, if I had to categorize myself it would probably be some form of mainline protestant, but it seems like the term is used by a lot of sort of megachurches and the like.

Still, I think there is a rich breadth of perspective from the numerous Christian traditions throughout the world.
And while I generally think the churches lost their way in becoming so..."constantinized" and a part of feudal infrastructure, and while I prefer something more congregationalist, I don't think that means I couldn't get or learn something from Aquinas...or Saint Francis.

Idk if any of this makes sense or if I am just rambling.

Old joke:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
