>Movies? hmmm well Ok....

Hey, that's as close as I got into the situation. And I know the Christianity in general was very loud when some movies weren't to their liking, so if all those movies were wrong, they surely had a way to complain.

>Peer presure? arn't we mature enough to look beyond peer presure and not judge others?

The peer pressure comes probably from not knowing whether others will judge you or not. Specially the typical scene when the guy keeps the plate in front of you for some time and waits. I've seen such scenes...

>I think you'll find enough common belief in quaker and orthodox and Christianity. But LDS (mormons) are whole another group of animals. :)

I don't care whether they differ by just placement of commas in their texts, or more seriously. The question here is whether they allow their members to be members elsewhere at the same time, or not.

>>Is it so? Never saw them on TV, nor in movies. And I mean HIGHER. How many of them have a pontifice maxima?

>pontifice maxima... is this a Catholic thing?

Pardon my Latin, but it's just the catholics who still call their topmost priest that way. Initially, it was the boss of all Christianity (in the Roman times), the pontifex maximus - priestissimus, one may translate. Pontifice maxima is just the feminine form thereof.

In short: how many Christian (or other) denominations have a female top priest?
