Yup that’s it. Become an Agnostic…believe in them all!!!

Binkley, your needs are beyond numbering! Good luck!

Seems like a cliche, but after searching many ways in my youth, I returned to the Faith of my fathers. Well, close anyway, without the fire and brimstone. You know, most (with few exceptions) were really concerned with my emotional and spiritual health. It’s hard to be alone.

If you want to know exactly how concerned your church is about your emotional and spiritual health, get a copy of your congregation’s/diocese’s/parish’s corporate bylaws and give it a good read. Especially the parts about who has what kinds of authority, and how they plan to support themselves financially. Once you get past the so-called “mission statement,” most of them deal completely with legalities and never again mention a deity, a prayer life, congregational outreach, or spiritual/emotional health of the congregation. Just saying.

Dustyism. You can join at Big Top.

Two thumbs up for ORGELSPIELER.

ORGELSPIELER So what’s your point?

Follow Bill – become a Rajneeshee!

Spirituality and Religion are not necessarily the same thing.

Hey, you could always join the biggest and the original liars of the bunch, the catholic church, but why not go with the latest bunch of crazies, the scientologists?

“religion is the opiate of the masses.”

Hey guys n gals, you don’t suppose the corporate charter’s complexity may have something to do with tax codes and non-profit status do you?

God is a concept, by which we measure our pain.

They have a corporate charter that doesn’t talk about the members or God because it deals with legal issues. Rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, so to speak. Weird topic to use to discredit people of faith…

For that matter, why can’t non-believer’s let believers alone? If they don’t believe in God, then what does it matter if there is a Nativity scene on “public” property? Just another issue of officious, pissy little people.

You’re going your way and I’ll go mine hanging on tight to Jesus ’ hand. Like it or not I’m your brother in His Name…. Sometime I feel that God weeps at what we humans to “religion.”

So many people are lost beyond redemption. What a shame. It’s never too late to quit making jokes about God and get real.

faith, sprit, ??? all very personal and important. wish others would realize this and not try to push or be concerned about being accepted. what other people think of you is none of your business. some very valid comments listed above. the catholic comment is pretty lame, no i am not catholic.
