In general, aren't United Methodists supposed to be sorta-kinda-not-all-that-strident-middle-of-the-road? Guess not there. I thought that sort of intellectual isolationism had largely passed, but in certain insulated communities, it's clearly still alive and well. There are, unfortunately, many people who couldn't name 10 Christian denominations to save their lives, let alone tell you the basic tenets of their beliefs. Heck, most religious Americans don't understand the theology of their own faith, but it's clearly an us vs. them situation. Your situation must also create problems for dating and socializing with an intellectually and socially similar crowd. Sigh!
