I've never heard or read this anywhere. I think you're wrong on this one.

It appears I've fallen prey to a common misconception. Good catch.

some of you may know of my "MikeWaters ranks Christian denominations" post on cougarboard that was quickly deleted.

I ranked adventists #2. The sect I would be most likely to join behind #1.

I'm starting to think that Seattle has issues with the church though I can't quite put my finger on why. Every now and again though, he says something that makes me think it.

Darn, that sounds interesting.

What was the #1 religion to which you would like to convert? Or did you start with LDS at #1?
