[Guelph4ever]

Let me say up front that I am a convert to the Roman Catholic Church, however, my Grandfather is a big-time Protestant fundamentalist who believes very much in taking every little bit of the Bible absolutely at face value. He never joined any club, but he still believes the world is flat and that the sun revolves around the earth (all because Joshua ordered the sun rather than the earth to stand still). However, he believes the world is circular, whereas his mother, my late great-grandma, believed the earth was flat and square because of the verses which talk about the earth having four corners.

Of course, Grandpa also thinks the moon landing was a propaganda film staged by the US government. As far as he's concerned mankind never has and never will go to space (how he explains his satellite tv I don't know).

I don't see eye-to-eye with Gramps on these issues, but, what can I say? He's the Pater Familias after all...

Oh, and let it be known: I have already ordered my Pope Innocent III action figure. Too cool ;-)

I too am a convert from a predominantly Protestant family (although the members of my family aren't particularly well read in Scripture, which makes for some interesting discussions on occasion), so I know exactly how that can be.

Oh yeah? That's interesting. I actually have the Pope Alexander VI action figure. It was on discount because Ceasar and Lucrezia Borgia were included for free... (they gotta pay you to take those two!)
