Christianity only started to be based on the bible in the 1500's - so I would say that protestantism is the true perversion of the religion.
That's not true. There were Bible-based Christian groups before John Calvin and Martin Luther were even born. Of course, they weren't too popular with the official church. The official church rarely asked, "WWJD?". ;-)
Bigotry and political correctness are two sides of the same coin.

That's news to me, but it's of no consequence - the bible has been largely irrelevant to "true" or orthodox/mainstream Christianity for the majority of its existence.

I think I've stated this before someplace. The majority of what they do is non-scriptural such as praying to saints, using rosary beads, the doctrine of "papal infallibility", and the worship of Mary. No examples of any of the above are found in the Bible, the only true inspired Word of God. Anyone agree or disagree?
1) Pagan traditions were meshed with Christanity to be more appealing to the people. So that's why Catholicism seems a bit strange to non Catholics whose ancestors decided to sign up for a different Christian sect. Although, to be fair, Catholics don't actually pray to saints. They're more like middlemen to god. God is a very busy being. A strange concept that gets protestants riled up, but once again, it's just an adaption that made Christianity more acceptable to people.
2) I don't remember how rosary beads came about but I don't see anything nefarious about it. It helps Catholics keep tract of how many prayers they have left to go before it's time to have a good time
3) Catholics don't worship Mary. They honor her.

4) By the way, how do you account for all the contradictions in the bible?
*One thing that I always found strange is how the god from the old testament is one tough son of a bitch but in the new testament he's Dr. Love. He goes from slaughtering children in the old testament to sharing his love with everyone in the new testament. He went from smiting to forgiving. Such a drastic change of character.

Not only is Catholicism a cult, its the oldest cult actually, a rendition of the old Egyptian cult of Isis and Horus....Compare:
Hymn to Atun: Quote: Lord of All, Lord of heaven, Lord of Earth Thy rays embrace the lands Thou layest the foundations of the earth How manifold are thy works! The ships go down and up the stream..."
Psalm 104: Quote: O Lord thou art very Great Who coverest thyself with light as a garment Who laid the foundations of the earth O Lord how manifold are thy works! How ships sail to and fro..."
You're right, it's your turn, and you've already been warned a couple of times, and little stars (*) are accumulating that will eventually lead you to Banland, unless you fix your signature.

That's not entirely true. Look at this page (http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/), it shows the many darker passages of the bible that they never told you about in Sunday school, and the New Testament has its fair share too.
"I gaze into the moon which makes my mind pure as crystal lakes, my eyes cold as the darkest winter nights, but yet there is a flame inside. It guides me into the dark shadows beyond this world, into the infinity of thoughts..."

What about the 42 negative confessions:
have not committed sins against men. I have not opposed my family and kinsfolk. I have not acted fraudulently in the Seat of Truth. I have not known men who were of no account. I have not wrought evil. I have not made it to be the first [consideration daily that unnecessary] work should be done for me. I have not brought forward my name for dignities. I have not [attempted] to direct servants. [1] [I have not belittled God]. I have not defrauded the humble man of his property. I have not done what the gods abominate. I have not vilified a slave to his master. I have not inflicted pain. I have not caused anyone to go hungry. I have not made any man to weep. I have not committed murder. I have not given the order for murder to be committed. I have not caused calamities to befall men and women. I have not plundered the offerings in the temples. I have not defrauded the gods of their cake-offerings. I have not carried off the fenkhu cakes [offered to] the Spirits. I have not committed fornication. I have not masturbated [in the sanctuaries of the god of my city]. I have not diminished from the bushel. I have not filched [land from my neighbour's estate and] added it to my own acre. I have not encroached upon the fields [of others]. I have not added to the weights of the scales. I have not depressed the pointer of the balance. I have not carried away the milk from the mouths of children. I have not driven the cattle away from their pastures. I have not snared the geese in the goose-pens of the gods. I have not caught fish with bait made of the bodies of the same kind of fish. I have not stopped water when it should flow. I have not made a cutting in a canal of running water. I have not extinguished a fire when it should burn. I have not violated the times [of offering] the chosen meat offerings. I have not driven away the cattle on the estates of the gods. I have not turned back the god at his appearances.
I am pure. I am pure. I am pure. My pure offerings are the pure offerings of that great Benu which dwelleth in Hensu. For behold, I am the nose of Neb-nefu (the lord of the air), who giveth sustenance unto all mankind, on the day of the filling of the Utchat in Anu, in the second month of the season Pert, on the last of the month, [in the presence of the Lord of this earth]. I have seen the filling of the Utchat in Anu, therefore let not calamity befall me in this land, or in this Hall of Maati, because I know the names of the gods who are therein, [and who are the followers of the Great God]. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But that doesn't make Catholicism a cult. A billion people is an incredible amount of minds to change.

Yes, but the main theme is love. That this theme is occasionally contradicted is not surprising considering how the gospels evolved. Especially in the Gospel according to John.
Revelation is obviously very venegeful and has to be understood in the context. The world wasn't a fun place for Christians at the time and it's human nature to want some pay back... even if the words out of their mouth is love.

Catholicism is a cult, not real Christianity ? so is christianity, not real judaism, a failure of a weak man who pretended to be the messiah but did not do anything that the messiah was supposed to do.

Is it mandatory that Baptists/Pentacostalists/"Non-Denominationals" be entirely ignorant of the history of their own religion? Or maybe it's what happens after you join. That's probably it. How ironic that most of their "scriptural" beliefs come from, shall we say, creative decisions made by Catholic bishops at various church councils.

Oh yeah, bigtime buddy. It doesn't take a long look at church history to look and see that the religious practices of Catholics are mostly non-scriptural and when we look at so-called church history this even strengthens my case. So-Called Councils and meetings are a bucnh of men coming together agreeing to make new dogma for Catholics, none of it was scriptural.

You could benefit from a good Catholic education.
Newsflash: They compiled and edited YOUR scriptures and invented YOUR basic theology (the trinity, the nature of Christ, original sin) in those councils.
