    Ok I thought what with all the heavy debating going on a more fun thread might be a good break

    I'm sure we've all come across things, event and people that defy stereotypes. On my time on forums I have had the pleasure of meeting a calvinist Nazarene, a Lutheran who believes in purgatory, A Baptist minister who baptises infants and a Presbyterian who loves latin choral music and stained glass :o

    So, what stereotype defying people have you met? :D

    I once met a Roman Catholic who can recite all the Marian antiphons and hymns from memory, but believes Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ mediated by no one. Maybe it's not that surprising given the last 40-50 years of history... but it's certainly stereotype-breaking. :)

    It does remind me of an old joke. What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with an Atheist? Someone who knocks on your door for no reason at all!:D
