From the old days of USENET newsgroup alt.pagan, Stead's Law, first stated by Lew Stead[1], says:

Any conversation between 2 or more Pagan's will eventually become a conversation about Christianity.

or, as one alternate form says:

The time it takes for a conversation between Pagans to turn to Christianity is inversely proportional to the number of Pagans present.
