Knight Hadron 372 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I'm sorry to say it's something like 1:5 most of that one have posted here. Why should you be sorry? It's not like non-Christians are harmful; in fact, half of the people I meet here, I don't even know if they are Christian or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like non-Christians are harmful; in fact, half of the people I meet here, I don't even know if they are Christian or not. No, not harmful, it just personally filled me with sadness to see a poll taken long ago with many faiths listed on it and "atheist" outstripped them all by a lot. Just wish the diversity of faiths and faith vs. non-faith was a little more even is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish the diversity of faiths and faith vs. non-faith was a little more even is all. I see. But, given the MLP demographic, I understand the large amount of non-faith bronies. I don't really want to go into a analysis of the demographic right now, but I'll just say that I wouldn't be surprised at the athiest population numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do consider myself well educated as I am only so far from graduation, but a skeptic? Nooooooooooo, I'm an idealist to the bone! No I know what you meant by "style" I was just wondering why you asked. Although I confess, I've never heard another Christian use that terminology so I suspect you aren't one, if that's not the case, my bad. To answer your question I'm a syncretic/ecumenical Catholic.

Knight Hadron 372 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I am not going to spend an hour trying to understand the various catholic sects and churches. I did that with orthodox a while back, but I don't feel like doing that now. For your information, I would be called a protestant, but I do not identify with the big-brand "churches" nor ultra-conservitive guys; rather, I discover theology and build my own foundation. No I'm sorry for confusing you. What can I explain better? I don't understand what your sentence meant, grammar-wise. What does the word "one" refer to? Christian? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I don't understand what your sentence meant, grammar-wise. What does the word "one" refer to? Christian? Yes, but as you said, you are a Protestant so I was wrong, again, my bad. To explain a little more plainly though: Ecumenicism: Is the belief in common Christianity. That the theological and spiritual similarities are more important than the organizational differences. Syncretism: Is the above but a step further. Syncretism is the amalgamation of different religions or schools of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well mainly because I still practice as one. I go to Mass on Sunday, I donate to charity (not that that's unique to us mind you), I believe in the Virgin birth, I acknowledge the Pope's spiritual authority (while also being taught it's my job as a Catholic to call him and the clergy out when they screw up), etc. Edited May 18, 2015 by Steel Accord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trine 665 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 (edited) I do like Narnia! The Last Battle is unfortunately my least favourite book in the series (too heavy handed and a bit rushed), but I love that scene. I disagree though ^^. I think it was one of the three best books of the series, it was a really good ending to the series i felt. Although it was also a little sad too at the closure to the ending of the book, it also had some metaphorical stuff in it, in terms of the end of the world etc ^^ Wonderful series in my view ^^ 1st book: The Magician's Nephew 2nd book: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Final book: The Last Battle Edited May 18, 2015 by Trine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
