I am. I am proud to be.

I am also stumbling along.

I do go to church. Not as much as my wife would like, but enough to take it seriously.

Acually … the [Christian Fellowship](http://www.ams.queensu.ca/qcf/) group I belong to here is doing a [“smallgroup”](http://www.ams/qcf/meetings/smallgroup.html) (what we call our Bible Studies, since we sometimes don’t study just the Bible) on _The Chronicles_. We’re sort of working on the premise you just described above.

C.S. Lewis [the author of the _Chronicles of Narnia_] was a theologian. He also wrote a book titled _Mere Christianity_, which I keep meaning to read … I’ll **make** time, soon.

Oh yeah, btw … count me in too. 😃

Well, I’m LATE because I swung by the KROGER to get some CHIPS and stuff, because this is the DULLEST party I have EVER been to!

One thing about the Wiccans, they know how to throw a party. Us Fightin’ Fundies always find parties such a challenge, somehow…

[_rummaging through Vanilla’s CDs_]  
[_groaning in pain_]  
Geez. All she’s got in here is Fifties and Sixties stuff. Does ANYBODY have ANYTHING else? If somebody doesn’t come up with something, we’re gonna have to listen to Bobby Rydell sing “Volare” all night.

[_is nearly buried by stampede for thread exits_]

Um. Sorry, babe. Didn’t mean to be a thread killer…

My bad. Hey, want some chips?

I think I fall into the category of “default Christian.”

By the way:

I’m not sure what this means, but it’s pretty cool somehow.

Yes. Through many, varied, random conceptions of the term. The current one’s kinda interesting… :😁:

This much is true.

It’s very easy to forget. I’ll make a note.

Actually, that was mostly in response to **Trisk** ’s _Is this like coming out of the closet?_, the post right before mine. Woulda quoted it, but I always feel funny quoting the post right before mine, especially if it’s so short.

I was a Catholic until Cardinal O’Connor told me I wasn’t (something about how you can’t be a “cafeteria Catholic”).

I’m of christian faith and I belong to a small church that is non-denomination.

Hi.

What’s the count up to now, since there’ve been people multi-posting here we can’t just look at the # of replies?

I would just like to point out that OpalCat created a poll to determine religion in a slightly more precise and objective fashion. The thread where she posted her poll is the following URL:  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=61388](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=61388)

Since she only posted in the non-christian poll thread about her update, I am concerned that Christian awareness of this poll is a little low.
