Luann, I believe Mel Brooks put that line in Blazing Saddles because of his belief that most Christians do not believe Methodists are truly Christian. Methodists are not Christian because they do not adhere to the traditional beliefs and practices of Christianity. Methodists are a Protestant denomination, and while they share many of the same beliefs as other Christians, they have their own unique doctrines and practices. For example, Methodists do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and they also believe in salvation through faith in God rather than through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
