I said "practicing" so as to emphasize that it was more the religion than the cultural aspect of it. Like if Fugee says she is a Christian, she probably means Wingnut, whereas if you say you are, you could mean that your parents raised you cathoic but you havent gone to church in years.
He was a practicing CHristian in that he did church every sunday, liked the orgainziation of the religion and wanted the kids to be Christian. To that I told him that part of waht a belief system is is actually believing. I would not deign to tell my kids who God is or isn't. They have their own brains, let em figure it out.
It was not known whether this guy thought Jesus was an only child, had brothers, half brothers, step broethers, or thought brothers were men of the black persuasion.
