Why Christians Drive Me to Drink...

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Right.

It really depends on how narrowly or broadly you define the term "Christian".

Ummmmm, you might want to do a little homework on Church History 101. The issue of "authority" was THE primary reason for the Reformation. You might also want to do a little research into the fact that the Roman Catholic Church did NOT exist until the 4th Century AD.

Now... I'm not bashing Catholics. Some of my best friends are Catholics, and they're wonderful people. But the truth of history is still the truth of history.

Typically, the term "Christian" is defined as somebody who believes Christ Jesus to be fully God, and believes that salvation is through faith in Jesus alone - NOT "Jesus in addition to Joseph Smith, etc."

There really is some pretty funky teachings within Mormonism and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Most of it isn't immediately apparent, but is very present in the "deeper teachings".

I hear some vegans dry them out and grind the worms to a powder and make it like flour for cookies and such.
