There is only one correct sect, and that is the one the person posing the question belongs to.

As to the question of “What must you believe to be a Christian?”, it seems the majority of faiths that label themselves as Christian expect belief in some version of either the Nicene Creed or Apostles Creed. But discussion of that probably merits a thread devoted to that very topic. ---

Responding to my own post: Someone fired dozens of rounds into Greg Locke’s home, and parked vehicles, while most of his family was out. At first, I suspected that this too was likely an inside job, until I heard that not only did a round land on his daughter’s bed, but that at least one of his children (various sources are saying 1 or 2) were at home when it happened! Inside job or not, I hope everyone involved is arrested and prosecuted. > **[Police: 30-40 gunshots fired at Tennessee Pastor Greg Locke's Wilson County...](https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/wilson/2024/09/04/tennessee-pastor-greg-locke-shotes-fired-home-global-vision-bible-church/75068740007/)** > > No injuries reported as police investigate ---

I have to wonder what other “adventures” these two priests got up to when they were younger. They had to have known each other for a long time before this happened, right? > **[Belgian priest arrested after deadly night of sex and drugs with British cleric](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/belgian-priest-arrested-sex-british-cleric/)** > > The 60-year-old priest was questioned by the investigating judge and placed under arrest, the prosecutor's office said. ---

Ah, right, the possibility of hypocrisy. That’s a relief, I thought for a moment that someone was suggesting that getting shitfaced and rutting like pigs was, like, a bad thing! Personally, I think that aspect just made the Church more relatable. Shame about the dead priest though. No doubt he’ll be missed, but these things happen. Seems a bit heavy handed arresting the other one. ---

> [@Sandwich](#): > > Seems a bit heavy handed arresting the other one. Seems kind of spiteful to me. They didn’t arrest him just on drug charges, they arrested him for drug trafficking resulting in death. This, when the autopsy had as yet no conclusion about the exact cause of death, and it is not stated how they know who supplied the drugs (perhaps he admitted this under questioning, but that is not mentioned). ---
