You're right. Our pastor gave a sermon a few weeks back on unity and he said that there were over 250 different "varieties" of Baptists alone! (I was raised Southern Baptist.)Originally Posted by Zissou'sMom
I can't even imagine how long this list would be had you tried to list every possible religion! Even such seemingly straightforward ones as "Methodist" should be divided up into different things (like, I was reared United Methodist, which is different) and the same words mean different things in different countries.
It's so fascinating.
My grandfather was fond of comparing going to church with stopping at a gas station: It doesn't matter what brand of gas you put in your car. The important thing is to remember to stop for gas so you can keep going.Originally Posted by Skippymjp
I interviewed the entire tribe, and they came to an agreement. The name of the church doesn't matter. Whichever one has padded pews, indoor litterboxes, lots of food and valet parking.....let us know and we'll be there
