Or do you merely follow the teachings of the watchtower?

Oh no, I'm agnostic.

Where's the option for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Bang up to date this lot, they address Global Warming, which as far I know, none of the others do.

Hmm...

statistically significant correlations do not imply a causal relationship

I don't see that idea going down very well here:

doomed... boomed... oh dear™... oh hang on, we're just constructing meaningless arguments based on idle speculation...

I think you're confusing Catholocism with Christianity.

You can be a follower of Christ without believing he's God.

I think you're confused. The vast majority of protestant theology also states that Jesus is god.

If you follow Christ, then you follow his teachings. He taught that he is god. You can say then, that written texts are corrupted. If you believe that, then it is impossible to say you follow his teachings, because how do you know what is teachings are? Or do you just select the teachings you like and follow those?

Juche isn't a religion.
But I've voted for it anyway. It would be interesting to see Sandy form a military-first mass economic self-sufficient community.

Technically no, but this puts it well,

Its promoters describe Juche as simply a secular, ethical philosophy and not a religion. But, from a sociological viewpoint Juche is clearly a religion, and in many ways is even more overtly religious than Soviet-era Communism or Chinese Maoism.

And yes it would!

Also considered a sect/cult/heresy and not part of Christianity. As are the Unitarianists. To say these people are Christian, and there's nothing to stop you, is akin to saying "Well you can be a Muslim, but you don't have to believe the 'there is no god apart from God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.'.".

Jehovah's Witnesses are one Christian group that currently does not accept the divinity of Jesus.

No it isn't. They don't believe Jesus is God. Or rather they believe he realised his godhood as all mormons have. Sounds kind of newagey, hindu to me.

Apparently, when super senior Mormons (silent second m) go to temple to be initiated, they find it's just the same as freemasonry.

so this is all bollocks then?

Not all Christians (either historically or currently) believe that Jesus is God. In the 4th Century, Jesus as God vs. Jesus as created by God was a debate that raged between Christians. The former group won. Jehovah's Witnesses are one Christian group that currently does not accept the divinity of Jesus.

That's what I heard. This pisses off so many of them, expecting some great spiritual revelation, that they continue being Mor(m)ons for the social and family aspects.

Level pegging...
