lol, how many of you have wondered when clicking next to your religion
just what "christian-other" really means? Does it mean I am a christian
in the eyes of the world? Does it mean I believe in Christ? Or does it
really mean your one of theones that got cast out of pleasure to mourn
for what you have lost for the rest of eternity?

Yeah what is 'Other?" But wait what is Christian?What is Protestant?
If U look in an encyclopedia for Christian holidays for example? You
will see 'Catholic.' Every other Bible reading religion is 'Protestant.'
having protested against the Catholic Church. Presbyterian, Methodist
etc nd the rest. Could other mean none of the mentioned religions or not
attached? I think so.

Nobody is worthy of calling themselves "christian". Its only meaningful
when someone ELSE calls you a christian.

To me it means I'm a Christian, but not associated to or with the other
denominations listed (Catholic, Methodist, Prodistant, etc). If being
w/ some one that has the same beliefs as you is important, you are going
to have to explore further anyway. There are so many people out there
that are a certain denomination because their parents were and they were
raised that way but don't even know all the beliefs of that particular
denomination.

Yes, I do. That's why I go to a non-denominational church that I agree
w/ their core values.

ame here... i go to the episcopalian church because they are the ones I
can most agree with. As far as southern baptist watch out! lol... I
have been know to get up in mid-sermon (preaching about man being
dominant over woman) and make a scene intentionally while leaving. I
have also been asked to leave roman catholic services because when asked
if ther eare any questions I quoted the bible and thus contradicted the
priest.... lol
