    Yes, most of us have heard of the Big Enchilada in the Sky.

    I must say I am surprised that Otto?peppy have allowed this; poll to even take place as it was against the rules for some of us when we joined up some years ago as some of the original cast, and in fact I believe similar threads were started - 2 of them and both pulled

    these forums and I will say it are really starting to pull away from the WW 2 themes that the site was created for and around........

    What's wrong with this poll? And it was put in the Free Fire Zone, not in General WW2.

    If you like the poll, tick your choice. If you don't like it, pass aside. That's all there is to it. Besides, I don't exactly see massive rejection by the members here.

    I don't have a problem with the poll.

    There is nothing wrong with mentioning religion, as long as it isn't an argument, which this clearly is not. The votes are anonymous, but most importantly, no one is forcing anyone to participate nor even look at this thread. No one is pushing a particular religion here, or condemning a particular religion here.

    The Free Fire Zone is intended for non-WWII matters, the whole entire rest of this website is full of WWII information, and I don't see this as a problem, nor do I see it as the Forums going in the wrong direction.

    And for the record, I don't recall any other similar threads that were started and removed. Maybe Otto remembers them, but I certainly do not. The only threads that ever get pulled/closed are ones with useless bickering.

    BTW my Parents did not "registered" me in any religion (don't know how you say this in English, like for example for Catholics, the thing with the water, Priest and Church).

    I don't believe in God more than in ghosts or Santa Claus, but I'm not a militant atheist, so I checked the Couldnb't care less option.

    PS : Maybe TAG's survey will help me to find the light :)

    Im in your boat!!!! While I am Russian Orthodox ( got baptized last year ) I really couldnt care less. Maybe its the way I was brought up? Afterall my dad is Jewish and he doesnt really believe in god either. He just knows what he is and excepts it. I guess I am the same way, respect all religions but not sure if I even believe in god. ;)

    My mom on the other hand is another story! :D ( she is Russian Orthodox if you havent guessed :D )

    I thought you were some Slavic heathen, worshipping the spirits of the woods and the winds in the steppes, visiting your Shaman on Sundays :D

    Proudly I stand as the only Pentecostal here, lol. It's ok! Really, I'm non-denominational. If the Bible says it that's what I believe.

    I've done Christian missions work in many different (13) nations and have worked with all different "denominations" of Christianity including most of them listed here. If I disagree with someboday, we just agree to disagree and keep reaching and helping people.
