I'm used to non-ie protals but see: http://www.repentamerica.com/.

"Christians, enter here.

Others, enter here."

I think they need a footnote to disambiguate people like catholics[1] and jesus...

[1] No, I have no idea why American "ultra"-Xian organisations think catholics aren't Xian, but there you go.

I'm coming around to the view that it's because Xian is being treated as synonymous with "good". In thinking about morals recently, I'm coming around to the idea that in general, people seem have a tendency to assume that they are good. They make the fallacy of assuming that anything they do must therefore also be good, and that things they disagree with must be bad. This extends to cover political and religious beliefs.

Or, I'm completely wrong.

(In fact the footnote was quickly assembled to show that *I* didn't have anything against catholics, and hadn't properly thought about it.)

It sounds obvious, put like that :) But it sounds a reasonable interpretation. Certainly many of the arguments against catholics seem like justifications, and the absense of the concept of working with and accepting opponents is noticable in, say, politics.

It's a bit of a morass, because some people would say a christian was someone who 'lived in a relationship with god', so lots of people would *think* they were christian, but actually be frauds, which makes it hard to refer to 'apparent christians'.

I was going to say Catholics seem to be singled out, though I guess other christian 'sects' like Mormons get very stereotyped too, though some sects deserve it.
