Yeah, I'm sorry guys. I really mucked that up. And I wasn't trying to say anything about that at all.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Thank doG for airport WiFi.
It looks like First Class is full though, so I doubt I'll be able to get an upgrade.

Punishingly Intricate
I think I'd say "born-again Christian" or "evangelical" or even just "Protestant."
well I don't know about "born-again" but there are evangelical Catholics. And they are all Christian! As far as I remember.

Oh, yeah, no problem!
I just had TOTALLY forgotten about that fight. Part of my history of not taking bullshit from nominal authority figures. Sometimes to my detriment.

That's true, but I think the term still defaults to a subset of Protestants.
Thing is, ALL the terms are confusing. I can say I'm Presbyterian, but there are so many flavors of Presbys that by itself that doesn't tell you much. I'd have to go on to say that I'm PC-USA, which is mainline and the most liberal flavor of Presbyterianism, but that my church is evangelical, but lefty-evangelical what with ordaining women and so on, and that I'm liberal by my congregation's standards, and by then you've probably fallen asleep.

My exact denomination is "evangelical free," which sounds like it's on the really evangelical/conservative side, which it's actually not. Well, at least not compared to some churches I've been in. It is really confusing. And kinda stupid, actually. I mean, not entirely stupid...we each need to know where we stand, but I sometimes really hate that there are all of these divides. Why can't we just get along?
But, we can't, and blah, blah, blah. And I'm gonna shut up before I step in anymore guac.

Huh, that was never the case in the circles I grew up in. Christian included all Christian churches and the dividing line was whether or not churches were Protestant or not.

The term I was talking about was "evangelical"--that while there are evangelical Catholics, when I see "evangelical" by itself I assume the speaker/writer is referring to conservative Protestants.

I think it's more that a number of born-again Christians don't consider other denominations Christian. I don't know anyone who isn't "born-again" that would use Christian to mean only that one subset.

Gotcha, I misread your meaning.
