late at night is the only time anybody would seriously consider 76% of americans a minority or a rarity.
very few real atheists would care what the roommate was as long as he left you alone and paid the rent.
of course an ex christian with an axe to grind, he might post late at night w/ a different take on it.

Yeah it probably needs to be more specific to be meaningful. Also we've overdone the "room mate" thing.

Maybe "you discover the boss at your new job is" one of the following

A: Atheist
B: Gay and legally married to a man in Vermont.
C: Lesbian and legally married to a woman in Boston.
D: Heterosexual and won't shut up about who he/she finds sexy.
E: A Man pretending to be a Woman pretending to be a Man.
F: A man who did not have his third leg removed because he is a Christian Scientist.
G: A woman who is bipolar, but doesn't treat it because she's a Scientologist.
H: Conjoined twins who are both Mormon.
I: A Trotskiyist obsessed with UFOs.
J: Slowly turning into a giant sandworm.
K: An immortal who must carry a giant sword to protect from decapitation. Also plays "Queen" during the lunch hour.

There are all kinds of interesting possibilities for a thread like this. Just substitute one or two key words in the original question, and it's off to the races (pun unintentional, but unavoidable).

I know a few christians and a few catholic also. We know each other view, some like to debate which is fun for me, and I hope for them too. It seems to get those who listen in on edge, which is fun to watch too.
Is this question stupid? No question is stupid if you are truly seeking an answer, but if it is just to stir up a stink it is just a waste of time..

What's really stupid is that the answer choices don't answer the question.

What would you do if your room mate turned out to be a Christian, and was a regular guy?
WHAAAAA????
  1. I would wonder what made him think he was my roommate
  2. I would run him off and
  3. Hope he was gone before my husband came home!
