So kind of along the lines of this?

Seconded!

If you held a gun to my head, I'd have to say Quakers, but without the gun there, I'm going to say none of them.

This, definitely.

Real American Christianity, since as far as I know they're the only major Christian sect to be created IN America BY Americans with brand new theology directly regarding the Americas.

Adventism was started in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_%28preacher%29

Anywho...

The Copts of Egypt seem very interesting. Apparently they embrace a more mystical path. I appreciate that.

Evangelicalism is mine, I'm one myself.

I have no favorites and no least liked, I however, being a maenad and greek, worship the god Dionysus. And not his pathetic wine form...

by **Tezdrian** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 4:58 pm

Oh, The Copts are nice too.

I'd say the Ranters, who worshipped by getting drunk, smoking and having sex.

If hey hadn't died out, and my town had a Ranter church, I'd be there several times a week.

The ones who promise most sex with sexy obedient women

Uniterians because they think Im still going to Heaven.

by **New Xania** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 5:08 pm

I love all of them equally

by **Grave_n_idle** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 5:08 pm

I quite like all of them. I like what the Amish do... I like how they walk it. I like the fact that Witnesses REALLY get into their scripture. I like the fact that Catholics have all that cool latin and codes of laws and stuff - they're like the real world equivalent of a roleplaying handbook.

There are groups and individuals within lots of those movements that piss me off though.

The Amish & Mennonites are my favorite as well, but I wonder if anyone else thinks of the Klan when they are asked a question like this. Most people don't realise that the KKK is a Christian group.

Any sect that doesn't try to push itself off on others and isn't anti-science is still irrational, but it's not something that I will actively fight against. There's three times I'll debate religious people:

1) You try to force me to live by your religious rules.

2) You actually want to engage in debate with me, and start a discussion about it.

3) You say something so absurd (this is usually of the creationist variety) that I can't avoid responding, or you say something that is anti-science.
