I protest against the lack of inclusion of Presbyterianism.

No one's converting to mainstream Protestantism anyway.

This is sort of hard to answer.  I can judge religions by their matching to my personal views, but if I'd have to think differently to subscribe to a religion, so the question is essentially moot.

First, there are fast growing conservative Presbyterian churches. See www.pcanet.org and www.opc.org . There's more to Presbyterianism than the pseudo-church PC(USA). Second, even if presbyterianism was just "Mainstream" protestantism, Methodism was included, and that one doesn't even have any conservative denominations.

I think my facetiousness was a little bit lost.  Tongue

Perhaps because it failed the important test of being funny. Tongue

It wasn't meant to be funny.  It was meant to push your buttons, and it worked predictably and splendidly.
