So, you're an ex-Holy Roller? 
My background is Catholic. I noticed that "Baptist" was spelled incorrect. It does sound like it has a "b" in the middle of the word when you say it. |

Was raised a Lutheran stayed that way for longer then I care to admit, or as a Catholic friend of my wife said once "Lutherans are nothing but Catholic lite". She said it as a dig but I thought it was funny at the time.

Heh. I was told by a high school girlfriend that Episcopalians are "half-assed Catholics." I thought it was kind of funny at the time, too.
