To The Christians...What Denomination Are You?
December 17, 2014 at 10:34 am
Thread titles are difficult to create so hopefully mine made sense.
When I lurked on other boards, it seemed as if the majority of the Christians who wanted to debate atheists were some sort of Calvinist.
If you are religious, what church or religious group do you belong?
If you don't attend church, which church do you most agree with its theological stance?
My guess is that Godschild and Drich(Dirch?) are Calvinists but I might be wrong.
I have no idea what the Professor is. Chadwooter has told us what type he is but I can't remember. Is Heywood a Christian?

GC is Southern Baptist. Chad was assimilated by the (Sweden)borg. Drich is, if I am not mistaken, a "Biblical Christian." I don't think he identifies with a particular denomination.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yeah, if you listen to Drich, he's is a walking witnessing machine working for the true faith which is way above petty religion

My mother and grandmother were Southern Baptists. Many Southern Baptist have been influenced by Calvinism but most don't call themselves Calvinists.
Chadwooters seems to have different views from Drich so I wonder why they don't argue more on threads?
If Drich comes on this thread I would like to ask him if how he feels about T.U.L.I.P. Hopefully, he doesn't mind answering.
And I apologize if I got anyone's sex wrong. Drich could be a girl, I suppose.

I think if you asked someone for their denomination in England you'd just get a blank stare back.

Don't people go to different types of churches in England? There are a lot of Baptists and Pentecostals where I live but there are also Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Adventists etc
They all have such different beliefs that sometimes I suspect that Christianity is several different religions that all worship the same god.

You mean you want to A/S/K him about T.U.L.I.P?

In principle yes, but of course England has a state religion, the Anglican COE, of which the Queen is the leader. I don't know the statistics, but I would guess it is by far the most common denomination therefore.

Yeah maybe they would know. People in England just seem to have some vague idea that they are Christian but I don't think they even know what it means.
I'm talking out my arse of course, I don't converse with enough people to make these statements.
I think the Church of England was made so Henry 8th could divorce his wife, or something. Cool!

I was raised Lutheran. Obviously wouldn't identify that way now...
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
