I can fix that.

All religions are based off Christianity. The only reason there are other religions is because certain people wanted more than just salvation and peace, they wanted glory, and so they took all the principles and basic beliefs of Christianity, altered names and events, and made up a new name for their self promoting religion.

Suck it down, bitches! I'm also the official Organist's son most of the time.

Yeah, I'm sort of a mix of Protestant and United Christianity. What's United? A lot less formal version of Protestant.. And you thought Catholics were formal!

United's basically a community-driven church that was derived in Canada, though I think it branches out.

I was brought up Protestant back when I lived in Ontario, with Sunday School and all, but when we moved here, my mom couldn't find a job as an organist at any Protestant church around here.. My mom was raised in a German Protestant church, and my father was brought up in the praries in the new-at-the-time United Church in the praries. So, here we took up United and my mom was a church organist for a really long time, and I went to a lot of Sunday School.. but some personal events shattered our Church-going recently and I haven't gone back since. But, I have a full Sunday School education; that's all I need

I'm a Christian, I was raised Jewish, until the Lord came to me and changed my life. I am now a Christian, as I said before. The denimination I presently practice is Episcoplian, as I find the "high churchness" of it brings me closer to God, and shows some of the best we can give, in terms of worship. Indeed, my personal relationship with God is that which makes me unseceptable to athiest banter. And while I, personally, don't believe you are going to hell, I do think your life would be more fulfilled if you let God into your hearts.
I'm not trying to convert anyone... and I think this is not the place for anyone to attemp that.

Only one question. Is acknowledging Christ as the Messiah the only difference?

Sort of.. there are Messianic (sp?) Jews, also known as Jews for Jesus, but they're kinda confusing (or confused). The entire new testiment in not considered by Jews, and there is a lot of Jewish doctirine that Xtians no longer accept as relevant. Christians also do not acklowlege the talmud, which contains much Jewish law. Church history also defines much of what the Xtian church currently believes.

I could write more but I have to cram for a latin qizz can you believe we have a quiz already.. we've only had a few days of classes).

Would you like to share how the Lord came to you? It's always interesting how the Lord came to people differently in the past and now he comes in different ways. I'm not really implying anything, just making conversation.

In other words, do you mean:

A) He floated down and had a word with you about your religion

B) One of your friends/associates/random stranger from heaven suggested the change of religion for your sake.
