Does anyone know if there's a site that gives like percentages on what other Christians believe. Like how many percent believe, by age group, that gay isn't a sin and other such beliefs. I really want to get to know what other Christians believe and if I'm just some odd ball out that takes mostly the principle beliefs and the core thing that makes me Christian, but has some unusual ideas. I don't know how else to put this.

According to the censes bureau, there was 2299,124,312 people living in the us as of 2005
Of which, 224,457,000 (85%) claim to be christian. as of the same time

It's not just that, but things like "Do all Christians believe in only humans see each other again? We don't see our pets?" Or there are some that believe in reincarnation, i think (I don't, personally). The list goes on.

reincarnation: Esoteric Christian All dogs go to heaven (sorry for the pun... just got done watching it with my nephew): http://www.ourchurch.com/member/w/w_lasalle/There is so many denominations, that I would be surprised if there isn't one, for anything you could think up.

Animals...
I WONDER IF A VEGAN LION IS A SINNER. LOL.
Sorry, but the idea of a Lion eating veges does seem like a son... Like how the Jews don't eat Pigs.

Qyp Animals... I WONDER IF A VEGAN LION IS A SINNER. LOL. Sorry, but the idea of a Lion eating veges does seem like a son... Like how the Jews don't eat Pigs. Why would that be deemed so? I mean grass helps a number of animals with stomach issues, are they sinners if they seek a remedy for a sore tummy? if you answer don't expect a re, I don't want to take this off course

And there is many other things in between... like insects and all that... But ultimately, everything goes around... So really, animals are probably sinless, because they just do what they meant to do. Unless Cannibalism is bad for animals? Anyways, why do you need these percentages Darialan?

I guess it's kind of silly or presumptuous, but I always assume that most people who label themselves Christian are the kind like my parents. Basically ....right wing? Is that the term? You know, always go to church as you can, don't cuss, don't believe in homosexuality, deny evolution altogether, no sex before marriage, abortion is a sin, don't live with your gf/bf untill you marry, etc.

Hm... I am strongly against Abortion... not because it is or isn't a sin... it just seems so disgusting... morally wrong... destruction of life... motherhood... parenthood...
Other then that... I am definitely not cliche.
