The other thing I always wondered about is where do Chistians get buried? I've never seen a Chistian cemetary. All of the other faiths have their own with their own traditions. They have been blurred over the years, a lot of people seem to have adapted what they feel comfort in. A lot of it seems borrowed from the Jews, stones on headstones, planting at the end of the year-I do this myself now.
Sorry to go OT, this enquiring mind just wanted to know.

Christians ARE Catholic, Protestant, (as in Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, etc.) Anyone who believes Jesus Christ is the son of God is a Christian. Some churches have come to describes themselves as Christians to the exclusion of other churches, but they do not have the exclusive right to call themselves Christians.
Also OT, sorry.
