A brief theological question.......
Not for the purposes of debate, but rather to understand the background of the people posting. Do you have a faith, and do you practice it?
Born and raised Catholic, now belonging to an Assemblies of God Christian Church. I'm there every Sunday, and usually on Tuesday nights for a men's Bible study .

Baptised and raised as a Methodist; still a Methodist. Even convinced my wife to return to church with me after she spent a few years attending a Missouri Synod Lutheran church. Being raised a Methodist has certainly influenced my world outlook. Some of you will differ on whether that was a positive or a negative influence.
BTW, Kam, don't you feel honored to have achieved senior status on PC.
Regards,
D-Ray

It's certainly not because I'm extremely politically savvy or because I'm a hard right wing or left wing anything. Wait a minute, that's most likely the exact reason.
That, and our brother Grumpy needed my help around the house

Actually, I was referring to you having reached 100 posts, which brings on senior status here. I had no doubt that you were well qualified to administer a forum, but do have some doubt whether administering our group of hooligans is an honor at all.

More like a burden that would drive a person to religion!

Born and raised Catholic. Now I'm a devout agnostic with a deep abiding interest in other peoples' religions (seriously), and none in mine.

Finn,
Have you ever read any of the work of Huston Smith, the author of the major treatise on world religions? Several years ago, he did a series on PBS that was very well done. (That's the kind of stuff we Methodists study in Sunday School.)
Regards,
D-Ray

I haven't, but maybe should. Thanks for the tip. I've read a lot of books in recent years on Islam, Fundamentalist Christianity and Mormonism. I find religion incredibly interesting, but belief in any of them beyond my ken.
