    I guess that makes me <insert denomination here>.

    You'd probably be a good reasonable LCMS Lutrin'.

    Makes sense. I grew up non-denominational (biblical, as I would say), and attended an evangelical free church. Always wanted to learn about the various denominations after college and "pick" one. It helped that my girlfriend and fiancee (and now wife) was Catholic, so I looked into it hard. Went to RCIA and learned enough about the history, liturgy, structure, symbolism, etc... I really enjoyed those aspects and didn't have an objection with converting to the Catholic branch of the Christian tree, and it certainly made our marriage/kids aspect smoother. I knew I would never place the emphasis on Mary/Saints the way some did in the Church, but I get why they do. It comes from a good place.

    Woof, all that being said, I was looking at Anglican, Presbyterian, and Lutheran as well. The Lutheran would've made lucky sense now that I live in the land of Scandinavian immigrants and saunas.

    Priesthood of the believer.

    Look that one up when you're bored.

    Makes sense. I see praying to saints as the same as asking you Jolly as a brother in Christ to pray for me. But at the end of the day, we all have a direct connection to the Big Guy.

        Creepy relic.
        I’ve a story. I was helping care for a kid on ECMO in Alabama years back and we had to change part of the bed near the kid’s head. Lots of junk tubes, gauze, syringes, and this tiny cotton baggy thing we had to remove or reposition. So we were doing this. Suddenly I hear nurse Debbie (from Auburn) cry out , “Whoa, wait, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?”, and I stop thinking I did something critically wrong. I say, “What, WHAT??” She points at the baggy, and says, “You can’t touch that. He’s Catholic. Those are the bones of Moses!!” I nearly split my gut suppressing my laughter. But Debbie was dead serious (and probably Baptist). So told her I was Catholic, recited out my birth and confirmation names, and said it was okay to temporarily move the baggy. I told her we’d say a special prayer for the Bones of Moses when we put it back on the bed.

        I trust the bones of Moses worked their magic and went home with the kid upon discharge to occupy a special place in the family china cabinet as a much coveted curio.

            I'm Catholic but don't place a particularly high/venerable level on the Saints or even Mary. I guess that makes me <insert denomination here>. I think the historical aspect is cool, but when the focus begins to be shifted from God/Jesus, it becomes a distraction.

            You don't get to be a saint unless there have been verified miracles.

            Saints have demonstrated abilities that regular guys do not have.

              Keith Richards should be made a saint, because it's a bloody miracle he's not dead yet.

              I was only joking

                  So some say. Others might say saints have extra-terrestrial connections or themselves be extra-terrestrial aliens.

                  Until we find out the facts, all these mysteries must remain…….UnXplained.

                    Saint Patrick reportedly brought back 33 Irishmen from the dead.

                    My guess is that what he actually did was invent a really good hangover cure.

                    He also got rid of the famously legless snake from the Island.

                    I'm beginning to notice a pattern.

                      The candidate must show proof of a life of 'heroic virtue'.

                      Not yet for Mr. Woods.
