 > I'm just a little bit curious about some things... specifically, the statement that "orthodox Christians accept the trinity." How do you define "orthodox?" I assume you're not referring to the Orthodox Catholocism of the Byzantine Empire. What is the distinction between "orthodox" and "unorthodox" Christianity? In the protestant faith, anyhow, that's a really obscure line.>
 
 That's a pretty fair question.  I guess I'm thinking of orthodoxy basically as adherence to the Apostles' Creed, and the doctrinal summaries of the Church Councils of Nicea and Chalcedon.  I realize that Eastern Orthodox churches still have a bone to pick with the wording of those councils (the infamous battle over "filioque"), but I'd include them anyway.
