In response to "hey kelly, re b2" by tRuMaN

Ummm...kinda sorta.

The truthful answer would be that I don't feel organized religion is not for me - I feel that if I'm a good person and I live a good life, that is enough. I'm not sure that is the answer they'd want to hear.

Having said that, I have no issues or problems with people who do need that in their life, so it's not something that I would have a problem with. It wouldn't be difficult for me to work around that, even if I don't believe in it all.

You could research the structure of the United Methodist Church before an interview if you're interested. I don't think you necessarily - Diva Dec 31, 07:14 10
- I just think you need to be able to answer questions related to the masses, the calendars, such as that...... - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:24 9
  - Yep. And do Methodists call the services "mass" or just "service" like a lot of other Protestant denominations? -- nm - Diva Dec 31, 07:27 6
    - "mass" is pretty limited, isn't it? Catholics say that, obviously, but I don't know about Lutherans and Episcopalians. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:32 5
      - Episcopalians who used to be Catholics still say mass or they feel guilty otherwise. - TFox Dec 31, 07:33 2
        
        This is true. Our church has alot of ex-Catholics and they all say it and cross themselves frequently :) -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 07:35 1
        
        I still cross myself too. Now that I think about it, SheFox probably thinks its totally an Episcopal thing. - TFox Dec 31, 07:37
      - Lutherans call it a service (at least I do). The bread/wine is communion (not generally refered to as eucharist) -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 07:33
      - Lutherans do not call it "mass". -- nm - Diva Dec 31, 07:32
  - Yeah, probably, but that would almost definitely fall under the skill set of "can you read a calendar out loud?" - TFox Dec 31, 07:27 1
    - Fucker. -- nm - kelly Dec 31, 07:31
IMO - Strongbad Dec 31, 07:08
I wouldn't think it would be a major consideration, really. -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:07 7
- (Like, they aren't going to give you a "Christianity competency" quiz, or make you pray at the beginning of the interview.) -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:08 6
  - I dont they can - tRuMaN Dec 31, 07:11 3
    - As would expecting them to attend services or whatever. Churches are still businesses, despite all the churching. -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:14 2
      - I didnt say it was a requirement - tRuMaN Dec 31, 07:17
      - a friend of mine worked as admin for a church in Boston for years, never once went to a service, nor was ever pressured to go. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:15
  - Bible Verse Jeopardy! -- nm - Strongbad Dec 31, 07:09
  - oh goodness no. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:09
I think the best way to find out is to go to the interview and be up front about those things. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:07
