You have to highlight in some other color other than the white (which is how a quoted post shows up against a dark green background), or you won't know which are the words of the post you are quoting and which are your words in reply to that post. Yellow happens to show up against dark green better than any other color. If you have another color in mind that would show up against dark green--other than white--please mention it.

I usually know it by google. My memory is not that exact where religious history/the bible is concerned.

Thank you, I've wondered about that. Prior to moving here I had no exposure to Christians. We considered Christian to be Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran and Episcopalian.

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.

My family in Tennessee all get buried in community cemeteries. Decorating graves with elaborate florals in spring is a beautiful family ritual.

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.

I was brought up Catholic, we keep it simple. It comes down to "Where is God? God is everywhere." Then you hook up the trailer and off you go.

I look it up. Having been brought up Catholic, but now a former Catholic, I take great pleasure in reading the bible myself.

I'm not sure what would work, other than blue. Yellow does not.

I can read yellow against dark green fine. Anyone else have any suggestions? A darker color does not show up against the dark green that is the background TOTV uses when you quote a post.

Yes, sorry, dbussone. I tried to put pink in as Gracie's suggestion, but I totally flubbed it up. I will try again tomorrow, in a separate thread so it's not going OT.

No, the Bible doesn't say that.
I think you mean the New Testament.
There is a difference.

Orange -- the darker orange on green -- works for me.
