A Roman Catholic.

And taught by Jesuits, so you can imagine the amount of mental gymnastics I went through.

At any rate, I'm more of an intellectual supporter of Roman Catholicism rather than a true believer.

 

[El_Machinae]

What kind of Buddhist? And how are you involved in the Buddhist community?

How can a Buddhist be involved in a community?
Aren't we all just one anyway?

non-denominational christian

That's another word for "theist".

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I still think we need another word for "atheist".

I be damned if I know what it would be though.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

That's another word for "theist".

It is more specific, though.

 

[Perfection]

Not really. You just aren't that cool.

That's rich!

Now, tell me what the hell you were talking about.

 

[brennan]

Skadistic never clarifies when caught out. Oh cool one.

 

[Mise]

As true as that may be, it was pretty damn obvious what Skadistic was saying, so either Perfection really isn't that cool, or he's winding him up. MobBoss, of course, is just trying to divert fire away from himself, as usual. And as usual OT falls for it...

Unless they are not Protestant.

Unless they are not Protestant.

"Nondenominational Christian" normally is a protestant by definition, that is, a non-sacred tradition sect - not Catholic, Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox. And the person is most likely going to be influenced by protestant thought (otherwise he'd be focusing more on the concerns of heresy or whatnot) such as sola scriptura and sola fide.

Sure I do. When its needed and not just to dumb it down for people who can't grasp what they read. Or to stroke the egos of trolls.

Pure. Comedy. Gold.

I call comments like these....the 'death wiggle' part of the debate.

Not always, however. There is a lot of thought particular to Protestantism that someone who identifies as non-denominational Christian doesn't follow. However, Protestantism does seem more prone to that sort of thing.

Well, yeah, but what I'm saying is that for the (normally American) non-denominational Christian, Protestant thought is the "default."
