    The rest were much lower than 50%.

    Theravada Buddhism is fairly scary, and I agree with very little of what it has to say.

    Considering that I appear to be 100% of one, what the hell is a Secular Humanist? Is sounds like one of those bullshit terms like Compassionate Conservative.

    Begs the question if one can actually be a liberal Roman Catholic or if that automatically makes one a protestant.

    No, because I'm a liberal Roman Catholic and I'm by no means a protestant.

    What I was kinda getting as was if you disagree with the tenets of the Church, are you still part of it? I'm a liberal RC as well, but this popped into my head.

    But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder.

    While I disagree with some, I still am a part of it. Like the 6th Commandment, "Thou shall not kill" they don't specify it very much. For example, what if you are a doctor or a veterinarian, but you made a mistake during a procedure or gave the subject too much antibiotics. Would you still go to hell? On the other hand, I don't think it would be reverent to specify or amend the ten commandments so there is really nothing I can do.

    Many Christians start to disagree on that point when you start putting out some of the bits from Leviticus, for example, not wearing linen/wool blends, and not eating any shellfish.

    Exactly. That was the main point I was getting at.

    Your problems would be solved by just becoming a Unitarian. Just take the good of any spiritual path and toss the crap. You can even keep Jesus if you want.
  • JasonJason
    Christians believe that the Jewish law established in the Old Testament was abolished and replaced when Jesus was executed. They believe that the sacrificial system of redemption followed by OT characters is superceded by the New Testament "sacrifice of the lamb;"

    To be specific, whereas Abraham & Co. had to slaughter lambs and burn them on an alter in a ritualistic appeasement to God, Jesus was the ultimate sacrificial animal for everyone for all time when he died. A new set of laws was established in place of the Old Testament ones, rendering Levitical and Deuteronical law as dead wood laws. They're still on the books, but they are no longer enforced.

    This is where an offspring cult of Judaism began to gain prominence, and eventually became an establishment religion as Catholicism under Constantine.

    I actually consider myself a Taoist, but as Taoism is nothing if not ambiguous perhaps my strong stance on certain contemporary issues pushed me from that mark.
