<p>Justinian, I accept your apology :)</p>
<p>I'd like to go into international law or diplomacy with the UN. I'll probably end up majoring in Political Science. I know I'd like to continue studying languages. The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton appeals to me a lot! So far, these are just preliminary aspirations. I'm sure I'll be led to where I'm supposed to go; I trust in that wholeheartedly! :) Good luck to the rest of you at college!</p>

<p>[qoute] I'm a nondenominational Christian

that means protestant.</p>
<p>I don't have a religion and I'm not even close to believing in God. </p>
<p>Some people have told me I'll go to hell for it and those people are a**holes. In my opinion religion is here only to let people have faith, whether it be real or not.</p>
<p>I always ask religious people, "then who created God?" They never answer me.</p>
<p>I'm always having to tell Protestants that they're Protestants. Many Protestants don't even know! They just call themselves Christians. If you ask them what kind of Christian they are, they usually just say whatever denomination of Protestantism they ascribe to or are closest to (Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc). Very rarely do I hear a Protestant say "I'm a Protestant." </p>
<p>Funny that. At one time Protestants wore the title of "Protestant" proudly -- it meant NOT-Catholic. My guess is that it stems from a lack of education about their faith tradition. They read the Bible all day, sure, but they don't read anything on the history of Christianity or Christian theology.</p>
<p>I actually wrote a paper about this last year. My thesis was that by refusing -- either by ignorance or conviction -- to call themselves "Protestants," Protestant Christians have effectively hijacked the word "Christian." When most people today think of Christians, especially in North America, they think of Protestants. Catholics and Orthodox have become something other in the eyes of many, because we use our proper titles.</p>
<p>haha, I totally agree aroundkid and Fides!</p>
<p>"I always ask religious people, "then who created God?" They never answer me."</p>
<p>Nothing created God. God simply always has been. It's an amazing thing -- our human minds cannot fully comprehend it.</p>
<p>If anyone could pull it off, though, it would be God.</p>
