>Now that's REALLY interesting...Can you tell me what it means to you to be a Christian? I always presumed that when a person said they were a Christian that they meant the followed the teachings of Christ. It appears you are using it in a different way - just want to know what you mean...

Yes, I follow the teachings of Christ (not the turn the other cheek bit though): I suffer the children ..., render unto Ceasar, refrain from casting the first stone, and all that; I might even welcome my playboy brother back home once he's skint. But I don't recall any of that man-is-boss, woman-should-follow stuff. But then again, I wasn't bible-bashed from an early age and can't quote chapter & verse (where you'll always find some "God's word" to justify your actions - and, doubtless, some others to gainsay it - all this talk reminds me of Robert Mitchum in "Cape Fear"); rather I received a rational instruction in the religion (such as you won't find nowadays in schools here).

Why, is there anything in my demeanour or messages that suggests otherwise (besides my not being too charitable with you)?
