I hate to spoil your excitement, but you should know that you're not as underground as you think you are (I know who you all are, and I'm not even a member). Not that you even need to be underground. I really have no problem with the fact that you all are Christians and have a sense of unity. But please realize that it's only a fun game because most of you are not actually being forced into the underground out of a real sense of fear for your employment.

As a member of an actual underground, I can assure you it's not exciting, it's no game, and it's really difficult to identify who else is a member. Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_LGBT_civil_r… As a citizen of the state of Missouri, and as an employee of a private company, I can legally be fired for my sexual orientation. Bring my girlfriend to one employee family function, and it could be my last.

Again, I have nothing against Christian unity. But if you really had to be a member of an underground as a matter of survival, you would remove it from your list of Stuff Christians Like quicker than you can say "unemployment".

Sounds like Jerry Jenkins' Underground Zealot series. "He is risen".

Weirdly, we don't have to be that underground about it at my workplace. You wouldn't guess it, because I work at a fairly large visual effects house. But we're here and when we discover it we don't wait for secret code words. On my last show we only had one-day weekends, so when asked what we were doing, the answer was usually, "Well, I'm going to church," along with whatever else we had planned. And the real blessing in all that has been that I've been able to talk about my faith with my other coworkers who don't share my beliefs.

Though, in fairness, that might just be a characteristic of my particular department- we spend long hours in small rooms together, so we tend to be a pretty close-knit bunch. Still, I'm grateful for it. God has given me a fantastic job with fantastic people, and they've all been a blessing.
