in the eyes of most of the world there is little difference between protestants and catholics. to those involved those differences are important.

Those who think the differences are important are lunatics. They all worship the same God. They all recognize Jesus as the son of God. The only difference between the 2 is the differences in the ritual ceremonies...

And for this reason, religious lunatics have been breaking one of the 10 commandments for thousands of years. Didn't God tell everyone Thou Shalt Not Kill?

Yet religious zealots have been killing people for stupid reasons since the dawn of time...

Actually, I think it was originally Thou Shall Not Murder, but has been more popularly translated to Thou Shall Not Kill.

The Sixth Commandment, as translated by the Book of Common Prayer (1549).
The image is from the altar screen of the Temple Church near the Law Courts in London.
Multiple translations exist of the fifth/sixth commandment; the Hebrew words לא תרצח (lo tirtzach) are variously translated as "thou shalt not kill" or "thou shalt not murder".[50]
The imperative is against unlawful killing resulting in bloodguilt.[51] The Hebrew Bible contains numerous prohibitions against unlawful killing, but also allows for justified killing in the context of warfare (1Kings 2:5–6), capital punishment (Leviticus 20:9–16) and self-defence (Exodus 22:2–3). The New Testament is in agreement that murder is a grave moral evil,[52] and maintains the Old Testament view of bloodguilt.[53]

And in the original Aramaic form, the Old Testament says the world was created in 7 periods of time, not days. The term used for the period of time was non specific, which leaves a lot of wiggle room. The Jews were the ones who shortened it to 7 days, when the Old Testament was translated into ancient Hebrew, and the Romans turned their mistake into fact in the Latin versions...
