Protestant Christians do not believe it necessary to have confession as the Catholic church does. It derives from the scripture that tells us that if we confess our sins, God will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. But our confession is to God, not to the preacher/priest.

We confess so that we may be forgiven. The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another so that we can hold one another accountable for our actions.

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [NKJV]

Why do christians dislike the peace sign?

Some Christians may dislike the peace sign because of its association with the counterculture movement of the 1960s, which they may view as promoting values that conflict with their religious beliefs. Additionally, some Christians may interpret the peace sign as a symbol of secularism or opposition to traditional values.
