Just wondering after reading this..........do you have children, and if not, will this still be your answer if and when you do? I've found that being a parent changes things.

Lol.....Read the question - it says what type church do you attend.

If you do not attend a church, then you don't have to vote at all.

No, and in all seriousness, part of the reason is I do not want the responsibility of telling someone else how to spend eternity when it is clear as mud to me...

I have two dogs who are "Free" and don't have to worry about the guilt or fear or eternal damnation of religion... sometimes I wish I was a dog...

If I felt that I knew without a doubt that were was some certain procedure to not go to hell, I would do it and would advise my family to do so as well... but not at the cost of hiding from life and from the world until I die in hopes that the next place will be better. (I wrote a much longer post on this this morning in my thread).

Just consider yourself in a class all by yourself.

This isn't is easy as it looks. There are so many UPC's:

Universally Parodied Church
Unmatched Pentecostal Collection
Unambiguously Persnickety Church
Upright People Church
Uptight People Church
Unpadded Pew Church
Ugly Parishoners Church
Unattainable Prosperity Church
Ubiquitous Pastor Church
Untalented Performers Church
Unvarnished Parsimony Church
Unattended Perfectionist's Church
Unavoidable Perdition Church
Unenduring Popularity Church
Ultra-Paternal Conservatives
Under Pastoral Condemnation
Uninhibited Passion Commune
Unidentified Pressing Crowds
Urgently Passing Cash
Unspecified Precept Champions
Unenlightened Purse Chasers
Unsupported Preacher Concepts

And, for the record . . . I'm UPC!
