My wife’s Catholic. I go to mass with her periodically, and support her faith. I’m Buddhist (Tibetan) for 25 years, raised Methodist, earned God and Country Award with the Boy Scouts, read the entire Bible formally three times and still browse it from time to time, and am likely more conversant with it than most Christians. I am mostly sympathetic to the Christian religious tradition, and well aware of its importance on this web site and within the conservative community altogether:

Concerning this type of interdenominational nonsense, I’d like to politely request that folks knock it off. Attack me if you must, but leave each other alone. Sheesh!

If you were at all ‘conversant’ with the word of God, you would most certainly not be declaring yourself Buddhist.

Uh, were a bunch of mean old Christians...interdenominational nonsense is our bag and just try prying it from our cold, dead hands!

On a serious note, since you’re a Buddhist it would be nice if you minded your own affairs re: Scripture. That’s family business.
