One of my problems with God.
Dennis McKinsey:
If God kills, lies, cheats, discriminates, and otherwise behaves in a manner that puts the Mafia to shame, that's okay, he's God. He can do whatever he wants. Anyone who adheres to this philosophy has had his sense of morality, decency, justice and humaneness warped beyond recognition by the very book that is supposedly preaching the opposite. |

Robin,
Do you attend Church services at any organized-religion type Church? Just curious. |

I have a lot of respect for the communites that often develop around churches, other than the benefits of community, church is for the birds. |

I should add a bit more...
Community is the part of church that I miss. It is what I valued most from church. But there are other good aspects of church -- -- for people who don't have the time or patience to work out their own moral and ethical codes, the orthodoxy of organized religion is often a sufficient crutch to help them behave civilized. |
