This board let in the cultists inciting holy wars against the "Heretics".

Only Protestants actually believe, Catholics and Orthodox are roleplayers who "converted" for aesthetic reasons. That's why contrarians are overwhelmingly those types.

Because in our post-modern world, people are searching for something to make them feel strong and apart of something bigger. It is also provides meaning in a culture that rarely offers that.

Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism are very visibly connected to an ancient tradition, and thus fulfills that function.

Catholic and Orthodox make it easier for beginners who don't really have much of a character concept prepared, they can just play a basic zealot type.

Lack of costuming options makes Protestant LARP really boring and there's no room for improvement as you level up. And the imagery is so sparse you might as well set it in the real world

Before you even say anything about belief, one have to ask about the legitimacy of the shit you believe in. History shows that you believe in made up shit.

>The divine Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as opposed to human writings; and the oral tradition or living faith of the catholic church from the apostles down, as opposed tothe varying opinions of heretical sects—together form one infallible source and rule of faith. Both are vehicles of the same substance: the saving revelation of God in Christ; with this difference in form and office, that the church tradition determines the canon, furnishes the key and true interpretation of the Scriptures, and guards them against heretical abuse. (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Eerdmans: Grand Rapids, MI, 1981 ed., vol. 3, p. 606)
