Prepare to be surprised. Other than a well-intentioned baptismal when I was an infant, I have no such background. I was left to form my own conclusions regarding religion.

Then lets learn from Mary Jo Kopeckny! She'd be 65 next year (I read somewhere). That schmuck who killed her and then had his family whitewash the incident has his FAT HEAD all over Al Jareeza, telling them what evil people we are. Disgusting.
She's gone but not forgotton.

I'd call that a Christian background. I wasn't even baptized, and neither of my parents were Christian by the time I was born, but a majority of my grandparents were, as well as a majority of the neighbors.
I've always found it odd that people have no problem pinning a religious label on a child such as Muslim, Christian, Jewish, etc., and yet most would never consider describing a child as a Federalist, Nationalist, Republican, or Democrat, etc.. More often than not, one's religion is an accident of birth. I suffered no such accident.

Hey Flts,
Interesting what you said about Mary Jo, tides and such. She is gone but not forgotten--if only Kennedy could be forgotten.
I put Kennedy on the same level as Jane Fonda. Maybe Mary Jo had it easy--I wonder about these Viet Nam vets who've had to deal with Jane Fonda for years. Did you ever hear the story about how a POW tried to palm a note with the SSN's of the POW's in the Hanoi Hilton to Jane Fonda, and she handed the note over to the camp commandant?
I would LOVE to know if that is true. Okay, and the Swift Boat stuff too...

I suppose you guys have a point about Mary Jo, and I suppose you can mention Jane. I guess you're just looking for equal time.
Senator Joe was mentioned in relation to the scare tactics that are being used by this administration. I'm the one who said that these times remind me of those times. Deep throat came up as speculation when Nixon's secretary died. I guess you guys just had to dig up some dirt (relevant or not to the conversation) for balance.
No problem. Carry on.
