40. Are you a Christian?
Because the only people I have ever heard that term from are fundamentalist Christians. And I take offense to it, as a Christian I do not take the Bible literally. I think fundamentalists more than "liberal Christians" are more guilty of picking and choosing, as they do take it literally yet love to point fingers at gays, but at the same time refuse to acknowledge being overweight as a sin, or if your going to take the Bible literally eating pork or shellfish.


The term "cafeteria Christian" whatever the hell it means, doesnt apply to a large chunk of "liberal Christians" (whatever the hell THAT means) because we dont all interpret the Bible the same way.
