8. Welcome to DU. I often find, as a liberal believer, that I have more in

in common and am more comfy with athiests than conservative believers.

[no name no slogan]

10. i hear you there

i've been going to an evangelical church with my mother lately (living "at home" for last couple months), and quite frankly i find certain aspects of their practices/beliefs puzzling. :shrug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Yeah. I go to one because my hubby is conservative. Some days I

feel like I am stuck in a cult. :P

no suprises, really, as i've always theologically thought i had more in common w/ liberal Quakers than anybody. but WTF is up with the Scientology at #20?

[liberalitch]

24. man! do jevovah's witnesses avert their eyes and crawl past your house?

[no name no slogan]

26. here's the kicker: my closest coworker is a Witness!

:o

he's actually a very nice, very down to earth, and very sweet human being! we've actually had a few theological discussions before, and agree on a lot of things-- and disagree on quite a few, too.

i kind of got a chuckle when i first saw that, considering i've studied their theology/religion before and actually have friends who are Witnesses...

[liberalitch]

29. I remember when I was a kid I used to play with some kids who...

were JWs. I think that the thing that caused 3 out of the 4 of them to leave the church (became methodists,.... one universalist) was the no christmas tree thing.

Now usually every year I see one of them while I'm out getting my tree.

[GaYellowDawg]

[Strawman]

13. 100% Secular Humanist

95% Unitarian Universalist

Bottom of my list was Roman Catholic (I was raised as a Catholic and went to Catholic grade school).

[no name no slogan]

14. it's funny how many recovering Catholics come out of

the Catholic edumacashunal system. almost everybody i know who attended Catholic schools is either an athiest or a secular humanist.

[Strawman]

18. it's funny because

I think Catholic school was actually a good experience for me as a kid. It wasn't really preachy or hard core and I have fond memories of my old church/school and neighborhood. It was a nice, close knit community full of good people.

I just reached a point in my twenties where I no longer believed in the premise of the faith. Catholic school didn't turn me against the religion. I just don't believe in the religion and many of the things that it teaches.
