Well can I understand what it means to be black? or gay? I mean Im a white straight male...
You also look at Christianity though a very biased lense.
Quote:FYI, born in Texas, raised protestant, Fundamentalist parents and grandparents. Grew out of religion at age 20.
And? yet you say this..

So why in the world would you being a Christian, when you were a child no less, mean anything?
Pretty much all of the significant learning I've done as a Christian has been after the age of 25. That's what Paul meant when he talked about milk and meat. You were a teenager I very much doubt you were getting educated in the deeper theological meaning of scripture.
BTW I don't care what some surveys say about other people... The point is you don't understand it better than me

Funny part is that things like this are considered relevant
Quote:A majority of Protestants, for instance, couldn't identify Martin Luther as the driving force behind the Protestant Reformation
That's a historical fact, not a theological one.
Quote:Eight in 10 people surveyed knew that Mother Teresa was Catholic.
More drivel.
Quote:The question that elicited the most correct responses concerned whether public school teachers are allowed to lead their classes in prayer.
Oh yea thats telling.. I got a 100% and answered no questions I consider above the level a properly schooled 12 year old should know. I think my 5 yo could answer all but maybe the Job question..
15 out of the 27 questions had nothing at all to do with Christianity and among those that did Mormons were #1, Evangelicals were #2 and Atheist were #3.
