Me too. Funkiness: Top 5: 1. Mainline to liberal Christian Protestants (which is how I would've characterized myself) 2. liberal Quakers 3. Orthodox Quakers (I have found aspects of the Friends attractive, but unfortunately have never been able to characterize myself as a pacifist.) 4. Unitarian Universalism (hmm...) 5. Reform Judiasm <blink> Bottom 5: 1. Christian Science 2. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 3. Jainism 4. Atheists and Agnostics 5. Jehovah's Witnesses There are a lot of times when I would characterize myself as an agnostic Christian--I have yet to be convinced of any "scientific" (or mathematical?) proof of a Higher Power, but as far as religion goes, proof isn't the point. <shrug> If I did change faith I would probably end up as some form of humanist. YHL, remembering a math classmate at Cornell (an Orthodox Jew, I believe) who, on every page of his notes, wrote something like "for the glory of God" in Hebrew--would that my conviction were that strong
