   Okay, maybe I have jumped the gun here, but on the other hand, is there any
any Christian sect that would open their arms to members of either of these
groups as fellow Christians?  I'd say a Catholic and a Baptist will agree on
many more doctrinal points than either one would with a Mormon or (certainly!)
a Unification Church member.

   Granted, I don't have any statistics.  But then I felt like this was a
question of terminology, not a value judgment.  I have no intention of getting
into any arguments over dogma; my persuasion is more agnostic than anything
else.

   Hopefully, if anyone _still_ wants to discuss this, it will be moved solely
to net.religion. Please remove it from all other groups.
