Irish Catholic. I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior although I wholeheartedly believe that evolution is possible and that science and religeon coexist.

You should have atheist and agnostic up there as well. I was raised a Roman Catholic but right now I think I'm agnostic. I don't think I believe in anything right now.
On that note, when I was in the Army you were allowed to put anything you wanted for your religious preference on your dog tags. A guy I knew put "Ozzyist" because he said Ozzy was the holiest thing he could think of.
Alright, let me see if I can remember how I explained this to someone when I was wasted....
"Nooo maan. I'm sasying I belive in God and that we were created in his image but I also belifeve that evolution is real and to some extentsion still happens but I don't belive that it happens on the scale of one species becoming an entirely different species. It small changes like how there are so many different kinds of frogs and shiiit, and how humans have started to get taller..." I think at that point I fell over.
Something like that. I don't think any of the poll choices are close enough. Sure you could say that makes me Christian but really being a Christian means I read and follow the teachings of Christ, and I don't, so I don't feel comfortable calling myself that. Even if I did, I probably still wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself that since the majority of Christians are just Christians by name and don't actually follow the shit... Fuckin hypocrites.
I don't think the Bible is something people should believe without question. Sure, it may have been God moving through man to have man write down Gods word, but it's been thousands of years and you know that shit has gotten twisted around or completely changed over the years due to translation errors. It's more of a guide I guess. I don't know. I hate thinking about it because it's something I just have no fucking clue what to believe and I don't think I ever will figure it out.
