Catholicism is pretty cool, in all honesty.

If you said any other Christian branch like the Baptists had a fleet of space battleships and carriers of flying mechas it would be stupid, but that sort of stuff works just fine with Catholicism.

Hellsing [the manga/anime] has made me believe similar things about the Protestant Church of England, but on a lesser scale.

So maybe only a fleet of battlecruisers.

Well, that's because it's got the British Empire behind it. I'm not sure if the Lutherans could, since the original Protestants seem like a good candidate to posses a starfleet, and German space-fleets sound snazzy, but they don't seem to have as much of a central authority that could manage a space navy, unlike the Catholic and Anglican churches.

The fact you lot hold religious beliefs is odd for me, as I'm used to thinking of myself as the sole force of godliness amongst the secular hordes.

AFAIK, only you, Norv, Rup and Const are religious here. NEI, Esty, Liri, Me and Nat are lapsed Catholics. Dunno about Swith, Inritus and the others.

Apathetic. I'm not areligious enough to be all "there is no god" but I don't care enough to believe there is one.

I'm not, and never have been, Catholic.

From a word to a word I was led to a word,
From a work to a work I was led to a work."

I enjoy meta-humor and self-deprecation. Annoying, right?

I was raised Catholic. Excellent schooling although I annoyed the fuck out of my theology teacher. I'm politely atheist now and reserve contempt solely for radical fundies. Not Fundamentalists. "Fundies"... those judgmental, disdaining and pharisaical barking spiders who ignore the Sermon on the Mount in favor of fanatical bible thumping in Jesus' name.

It's not the same a "bible humping", which is mildly entertaining even though it's rather base.

I hated my theology teacher.

However, we did have many discussions about Edgar Allan Poe, Sherlock Holmes, and World War II. Those made religion class pass by very quickly.
