Religion: All
In answer to the question:
Although I grew up in a Christian paradigm and have to speak from one, I have develooped the perception that THE WAY, as it is described in the New Testament, does not have so much of a religious affiliation as it does a moral one.
I feel that ultimate morality and living a "good" life isn't exclusively "Christian".
To say that it is Christian is sort like the Catholic belief as outlined in the catechism that good people, if they aren't Catholic, don't go to Heaven; rather, they are consigned to Limbo (maybe some other place) until Christ decides if they are fit to enter Paradise.
Thus I cannot subscribe to the exclusive superiority of Christianity over other religions; nor of any religion over other religions. Paul's writings describe an all inclusiveness to following in THE WAY.
I'm not Christian in that Christians feel special and theirs is the only way. I cannot label myself. I can only say that I see how to live THE WAY and that I try mostly unsuccessfully and then I many times don't even try to move toward the goal set before me.

Just looked at your "about me" page. What does "Religion: All" mean?
