Why not? :mrgreen:
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

I put Christian (or would RC come under 'other'? :D ). Not strictly true, and I'm not practicing, but it is closer than any of the others.

And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

I can't say I am very religious at all (even though I did get an A+ for religious studies) but I was brought up Christian and went to a RC school.

Still have no reason to believe in anything but the physical reality all around us, but still can't say other things don't exist.

Christian. Though I don't associate myself with any particular denomination.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I'm Christian in the sense that I believe what Jesus *taught*: humility, forgiveness, peace, love and the occasional kicking of some ass.

All the rest....heh (of is it meh?)

I hesitate to vote. The labels have different meanings to everyone. And, they may be used later to prove a point...
