In my neck of the woods, one is asked, on a regular basis, "what church do you attend?" or "what religion are you?" And I don't think they're asking "Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or what?"<br><br>SISUAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-9940426512167680712008-06-30T07:21:00.000-07:002008-06-30T07:21:00.000-07:00I would think so too.

According to my dad, who is part of a Laestadian church, other churches are a different religion. I highly disagree, they are a different denomination of Christians.

There is NO distinction between different interpretations/practices of Christianity and say Muslum or Morman. If its not US then its THEM and none of THEM are "true" and certainly not saved. <br><br>I think still too many folks refuse to acknowledge the difference between religion and denomination...<br><br>Although one can dearly hope and pray that with all our technology and available information folks WILL begin to "experience, see and/or read too much about other other religions to be seduced by claims of exceptionalism."hp3noreply@blogger.com
