Nope.

Dad was Mennonite, when he was religious. Mom is Southern Baptist. I went to a Lutheran preschool and bible school until I got old enough to go to the "teen" classes at the Mennonite church for a week in the summer. Never fit in, never was able to remember any of the memorization stuff, though i could sing you the entire lyrics to 'Brass Monkey' and 'Like A Virgin' at the time. It never felt right. Not to mention the smoke coming out of my feminist mother's ears during the one sermon at the Mennonite church that I remember us sitting through. And my preschool pastor was creeeeeeeeeepy. I have respect for every type of faith, doing the work that I do, but still haven't found anything that works for me. And I'm okay with that, though my family is still very touchy about the whole situation. It's about respecting each other's beliefs and not making them feel uncomfortable to be Christian or not in a forum that is quite open-minded. We need labels here, why?
