Strange as it may seem to anybody who's ever taken a history class about Europe, the Holy Land, or the history of religion, you mean. The only people who get to claim that Catholics aren't Christian are the Eastern Orthodox, and that's more of a "Mooooooom! She's touching me!!" type of issue.
Look at you with all your books and history and fancyness!!!!!
Literal word of the bible, kid. And none of this idolatrous "saint" business.

Count me in as another who thought Giuliani got 9/11 right. God, it was such a relief to see him that week. (We lived in CT at the time, so it wasn't the first time I'd encountered him or anything - I knew about the anti-ferret insanity and so forth.) I think he's a great crisis leader and a terrible most-of-the-time leader. Guess which happens more often?
Yeah, absolutely. At least SOMEone was doing SOMEthing.

That's how schisms work. The smaller the differences in beliefs are, the more important they are. Compare all the fights that happen within a particular fandom to the ones that happen between fans of totally different shows.
Oh dear. Now I want Nutty to write the doctrinal history of Christianity as a Fandom Wank entry.
The immigration question on that quiz is very conservatively biased - every single answer included some form of "tighten border security." Hmph.
[Eta: And no surprise, it matched me with Kucinich.]
Huh. So "King James is the only proper version of the Bible" = "Buffy was a bitch to Spike"?

The temptation to write a thoroughly blasphemous Christianity Fandom_Wank is overwhelming. All the atheists just read along and shrug, "I'm in it for the lulz, yo."

Let the record frighteningly show that certain great minds do think alike.
It's so much fun to come in here on your birthday!
And Trudy! Wow - you rock!
