But as Abraham Joshua Heschel said, Israel is NOT one species of the genus "nation" it is the ONLY species of the genus "israel".

The whole point of creating categories is comparison. ****ing around with that by proclaiming that you cannot be categorised is simply counterproductive.

bah! this poll does not have agnostic, and athiest is spelled wrong

I'm not an athiest by any long shot!

Yes, "atheist" is spelled wrong.

You may not believe in HIM, but HE may still believe in YOU (whether that makes HIM benevolent or not is quite another matter)

Why shouldnt He believe in azazel? at least he exists.

I wonder if the virgin mary was hot.

If she was, she wouldn't have been a virgin. Duh.

Huh, what virgin??? She get's pregnant from someone other then jozef, that's not a virgin, but a two timing slut in my book.
I have to hand it to her, she came up with one hell of an excuse.
It was quite a liberal family, wasn't it.
Free love for the parents and a son who was gay, couldn't have been easy in them days.

Oh, should I mention that I'm not too big a fan of religion?

I was baptised and did my ' little communion' (that thing you at the age af around 6, it's called 'little communion' here) because of school pressure but refused to do the real one at age 12. Damned hyprotical nonsense, everyone was doing it to get the presents, Pffff.
Besides, it collieded with football practice.

OOh and another thing, do you know you can't even get un-baptised? you can, but as far as the church is concerned, it doesn't count. Once baptised...always baptised.

Actually, I'm a pagan. Most pagans are to be avoided because they spend a lot of their time whining about how the christians oppress them - presumably because they aren't allowed to bloodeagle christians or feed them to lions any more. I don't whine like that because I feel sorry for anyone who has so little imagination they can only conceptualise one god.

(it also means you can believe in your own way without any of that organised religion crap)

There you go Spec, now you can include another category in your knowledge of religions.

Maybe, I have no idea.

Spec.

Actually there are over 700 million Protestants worldwide. There are ove one billion Catholics and 200+ million Orthodox.

In the past I have more often encountered Protestants who believe that Catholics are not truly Christian than I have encountered people who believe that Protestants are not truly Chrisitian. Back in the old days many southern fundamentalists thought that Catholics worshiped the Pope and the saints. They also believed that Catholics could not be considered good Americans because they pledged themselves to a foreign power, the Vatican. Many of these beliefs originated in the first two decades of the twentieth century when American workers, who then were overwhelmingly Protestant worried about being replaced by imported Catholic workers from Italy and Poland. Early in American history there was particularily a great deal of anti-Catholic sentiment especially in the north where many of the people came from Calvinist and Anabaptist families who had been subjected to persecution by certain European Catholic governments.

Jewish by birth and upbringing, agnostic in practise, with Buddhist leanings.

I'm not going to debate the numbers, but they do count, for example most of europe in. Now I'm more then willing to take you on a tour visiting some churches, let me tell that besides the priest and 2 or 3 old ladies with full blown alzheimer you are very unlikely to see anyone in the house of the lord.
Like I said before, born a catholic, always a catholic, nothing you can do about it.

Anabaptist families

Never heard of this one before. What's special about them?
