Chatty, I am definitely not a Christian. When you group people according to labels, you divide them. I know many kind and loving pagans, but would you be happy if I said "We are all Pagans here..." Probably not, although I could draw up a 10-page list with similarities... Saying that you are Christian is fine; saying that "most of us are" creates an us/them dichotomy, where you set up "most of us" as the preferred group.

You said "so YOU tell me who's right and who isn't." I actually don't care. I'm not particularly interested in internal religious labeling wars.

You also said, "my od girl does everything have to be a point of contention?" SINCE YOU ASKED: in this Forum, I've let 90% of the intolerant comments slide (and NO, intolerant does not mean "different views than mine; it means INTOLERANT --which would also include "intentionally divisive") because I don't need to comment 24/7 and I believe in letting women speak for themself. Periodically though, I open my mouth and call things as I see them. Is this your definition of "point of contention?"

I believe in "viva la diversity" of opinions here, and will not stand by and watch people define their belief system as the norms of this group. We are all equally valuable here: Christians and non-Christians, liberals and conservatives. We should not be creating dichotomous cliques but rather working together to find our common ground. Inclusive, not exclusive. Us, not us vs. them. Holy, not holier-than-thou.
