How many Christians are here?

I am a Christian. However, I don't attend church, because I'm not very social. On the other hand I keep God close to my heart. I am a sinner, and my heart is full of regrets. I feel that every day I find a new way to spit on all I have been given and I just can't turn back some things. So I feel the need for salvation. I believe Jesus came to earth to show us the dangers of ``amor sui', and is our savior. I certainly accept him as my savior.

Is anyone else here a Christian? I imagine most of you are atheists, agnostics or of other religions. This is ok with me, as I understand it is what is fashionable amongst young people these days. However, I'm always happy when I meet a fellow Christian in an unexpected place :)

I started this thread just to see if there were any other Christians here

I was raised as a Catholic and I have a question for you. What sets apart a ``mainstream Christian'' from a ``Catholic''? Is it just their beliefs about the Pope and the Vatican? Some people here call themselves ``Christians'' and they have odd customs like not decorating their house in Christmas and their women being forbidden from wearing skirts or using makeup.
