Celebrity Death Pool 2015

:slight_smile:

Well, I’ve only been Catholic Lite for about fifteen years. Before that I was ELCA, and before THAT I was raised LC-MS. I switched from the denomination of my birth when I decided women should have equal standing with men in the church. How scandalous is that?

I left my LCMS church and am now ELCA in part for the same reason. Pretty scandalous.

ETA: and I’ve been Catholic Lite now for 30+ years. Was raised Catholic. I converted my then-girlfriend, now-wife from Catholicism to ELCA. But she says she’s still Catholic.

And I went the other way. Raised ELCA (then ALC), and now LCMS. LCMS still does the traditional pipe organ music and liturgy.

ETA: Beyond gaining favor with the Death Mistress, what does this have to do with gaining valuable points from croaked celebrities?

Without enough of them croaking, we needs must have something to discuss.
:slight_smile:

If the Episcopal Church is Catholic Lite, then the ELCA must be Catholic Ultra Lite. :smiley:

So the American version of Catholic Ultra Lite would be the acronym CULUS, which translates to …

It follows that Conservative Judaism is Judaism light, and Reform Judaism Ultra Light, although I usually describe them as Methodist and Unitarians. :slight_smile:

No, Reform Jews (of which I am one) are far more Jewish than the Reconstructionists. They’re the Methodist and Unitarians.

You are, of course, correct.
I’ve never tried to explain other than Orthodox, Reform and Conservative. :slight_smile:

And of course, on the other end, there are the Shomar Shabbas, who make the Orthodox look Reform

All this talk of religion in the Death Pool thread is kind of disconcerting.

To explain exactly how we, as individuals, ask the Lord to look with disfavor on those people we have listed who, being naughty in our sight, shall hopefully snuff it?

Amen.

:o

We prefer “the O’Doul’s of modern protestant religion”. :wink:

Composer Roy Douglas has died at 107. He was on my list. Do I get -7 points?

You’re ahead of me; my three scores have been -7, -7 and -9. :slight_smile:

A hundred and seven! Wow. :cool:

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Ah, so you got through Vonnegut’s Galapagos as well?

See next post.

Apparently nothing since 1985.

When was the fire when he didn’t want to leave his house?

You mean the one around Valentines Day of 1945? Except, it was not actually his house, it was an abattoir.
