9. While everyone else was watching the Power Rangers, you were watching The Adventures of McGee and Me! The American Christian Television series that featured a wee little caucasian troll-man who challenges the faith of young, impressionable, hunky boy-stud Nick. A stud, by the way, who you would grow up to be.

You either cried to this song or learned it in sign language but probably both at the same time:

These are the only 10 signs that you were a Christian kid in the 90s. This list is all conclusive, final, and unfortunately, not up for additions.
