Frodo, I stated 90% here were raised in a "Christian" household because there were a few that were not, and are Atheist today. I don't take what you said personally, I was simply clarifying what I stated.

Yeah... they didn't choose to adopt the religious surroundings. I covered that.
Never an actual commitment for the positive???
I really wish I knew what positive you are speaking of in that comment.

Yet others, like Kyu, thinks he was a Christian by some extremely spurious logic that of course even he doesn't understand. Kyu would think the devil was a Christian because the devil believes in Jesus and God
The devil was simply a "Believer" in a Christian God, but of course one could say, he simply chose not to believe in what a Christian god stood for. Hate, Jealousy, Incest, Rape, Slavery, Killing, damnation, but with fatherly love somewhere in the mix...... hock:
I have no doubt in my mind that Kyu, like many others, was raised in a Christian home or at best surrounded by it through their family when they were young. I guess I'm a little confused as to how you define a child being raised to be a "Christian".

So you are an Atheist now, or a Christian?? I ask because your signature states Christian???
