Getting back to the original question: Christianity is to broad, for I am nether Catholic or Evangelical (having a major fall out with modern day mega church movement). I say I am Reformed on by doctrine but Anglican in my practice.

What 'main points' do you mean?
Also, I'm sure those protestants think the same way about you, and that is part of what makes religion so hilarious X3

Those main points would be stuff like don't be a complete ass and stuff in those lines that I can't word the right way right now. Of course I believe the church should follow what they say a bit more in that respect.

Also most protestant religions end up tacking on alot of extra stuff. Like one that a friend of mine was with called pokemon the work of the devil and all movies/games that had magic in them were creations of the devil to mislead kids. Another one has rules like women can't wear pants, is against all forms of entertainment that isn't based in religion, and one of their members told me my bank info getting stolen and my account cleaned out was an act of God because I went to a casino.

Those are the funniest nutjobs, but I wish they weren't able to enact laws, or spread their stupidity in way that effects society - Like my middle school pretty much banned all trading card games, because the donaters were wealthy hardcore religious types that thought Yugioh was "dark magic", just because the main character's best card was named Dark Magician. And of course, Magic: The Gathering was clearly a cultist card game, set up to lure children into worshipping Satan (a gathering of magic? IT'S THE DEVIL).

They tried to get uniforms instated as well, but I think the PTA got together and blockaded it - Can't remember. I remember my parents were losing their shit over it, because they didn't have time to do laundry, and didn't have the money to afford uniforms my sister and I.

I've very recently come to identify as a Satanist after realizing that there were alot of misconceptions about Satanism as a whole. It's really about self respect and self worship. I'm very Norse spiritualist and was raised in Islam due to my Half Palestinian father. Islam being an inherited religion, when my father was no longer in the picture I really went in another direction entirely and my mom despite being absolutely banana balls has been really supportive of my choices. The Satanism thing freaks her out, but I think that's because she thinks I'm sacrificing babies on a black alter or something. Which is funny, because my glistening cheeks do yoga and collect rainbow socks and is basically a huge sissy pacifist.

Also: For some reason every time I would jokingly praise Satan incredibly good things would happen within the span of a few hours. It got to a point where it went beyond the natural theory of relativity and I just had to accept that either Satan was a pretty cool dude or I had ten years and I was gonna party hard freestyle into the pit. So I figure if Satan is more than an actual idea he's got my back. Because dude, like REALLY good things would happen. Unrealistically good things. B man got a job 2 hours after he applied for said job. I won 300$ in the lottery on a free scratch off I got in the mail. Our refrigerator broke and our landlord gave us a brand new double wide instead. Mover fell through and Bman's deadbeat father offered to move us and take us shopping a few towns over pro bono.

I'm a person who never has good things happen to them. And I take it as it comes. Sometimes life is just like that, but this...I just couldn't ignore something like this. It was too much not to be some kind of sign. So if Satan is telling me to love myself and respect my peers I'mma do it.

If there was an Agnostic option I'd pick that.

I was stuck in one of those private catholic schools where we had uniforms. They tried to ban card games, but with nothing better to do we would just have fights in the playground. They did however end up banning the Harry Potter series as they put it "encourages kids to study and practice witchcraft". Yes because I'm totally typing this out by using the arcane arts to manipulate the keyboard, thanks Harry!

Plenty of fights happened in our school yard anyways, thought there wasn't any discernible purpose to it. However, I do recall them trying to ban Harry Potter as well, but it didn't have enough support, and I was graduating at that point anyways, so it wasn't a big deal to me. Their reasons were likely similar, and just as hilarious, given Harry Potter didn't really get rolling until like, the 5th book?

I remember reading about Christians trying to ban harry potter. Apparently some Christians got "information" from the friggin Onion.

I did recall reading one story where a Pastor actually started reading the books, just to see what they were about, and was surprised to see that there's a good amount of Christian ideas in there (stuff like friendship, love, courage, good defeating evil, etc) and started supporting the books.

And dear lord, don't even get me started on what Chick Publications said about the books.

I'd contest friendship, love, courage and so on are human values.

It surprises me that some Christians were offended by Harry Potter, though. To my knowledge the author herself is a Christian.

People just not doing the full research. Plus some of them would probably throw around that she must not be a "real" Christian since she writes stories about magic. Much like people did to Tolkien (with an occassional side order of "he's catholic!"). Heck some Christians don't even like Christian rock bands because they emulate that evil vile "pagan" music. Seriously.

Atheism. I just don't think there's a man in the sky who can hear your thoughts, control space and time, and who is willing to punish your soul forever if you don't believe in the correct version of him.
