Whether you're a Christian or not, which Christian sect would be the most appealing to you if you had to choose one? This includes groups that died out or were destroyed (such as the Albigensians). I would lean towards Unitarianism for its anti- dogmatic approach. Although, it may not be considered "Christian" by some I still consider it a valid choice since it has its roots in Christianity.

Hmm. Whatever sect of gnosticism it was that followed the "Gospel" of Thomas found in 1945 at Nag Hammadi, Egypt. That, and Unitarianism.

UniterianUnaversalism isnt really christianity, sorta like reform judaism isnt really judaism theologically, in fact both of those two are 100% compatible

Protestantism is the best I think. "protestantism" means alot of things to alot of people igu be more specific, for example in ireland their are no real protestants(well im sure there are) the fight is between Anglicans and Roman Catholics, Anglicans are still in apostolic succesion therefroe catholic(not Roman Catholic) like the Orthodox are

Essenes Seventh-Day Adventists because the first are vegetarians and the second promote vegetarianism, half of their members are vegetarians Unitarians, also Baha'is (they are not Christians) but both these groups see validity in various religions, same with Religious Science--this group I like--uses Christian teachings as well as those from other religions, stresses 'positive affirmation' as a key to achieving peace of mind and good results in daily living Christian Science--I agree with a lot of what they say although I am surely not against visiting a doctor.

I liked "C"'s opinion on why he loved being a Catholic in the movie "A Bronx's Tale" because of confession you can erase your sins and start fresh all over again. ;D

Except for the Pope and the Virgin Mary stuff, I've always liked Catholicism.
