Both Excellent replies to my initial posts.

Agreed Drac, that religion can help someone get out of a bad situation in life, IE drugs, Alchohol, other abusive issues and lead them to a better more productive life. i also agree that there is more positive with it then negative.

Unfortuantely the negative makes the news, while the positive is a normal everyday occurance.

And happily, what a whirlwind of self discovery, kudos to being intelligent and open minded to accept what the world has brought you. By altering your religion to fit your life and not altering your life to fit your religion shows me you are smarter then the average person. So mucho props.

I onced asked a co-worker for this scenerio....

Person A was a good father, A great husband, never stole anything never hurt a sould, did everything right by society, but he did not go to church or beleive in any religion.

Person B was a bad man, he killed 2 people, raped 3 women, stole money for his drug problem. But 1 week before he was scheduled to be executed by the state, he decided he had "found Jesus and wanted to change his ways"

I asked so they both die the same day, who goes to Hell who goes to heaven. She replied. Person B goes to Heaven, Person A goes to hell.

I asked why, she said because Person B found Jesus, Person A did not.

It's opinions like this that DRIVE ME NUTS, so i said to her, so I can do what ever I want and as long as I find "jesus" before I die, I am ok? She said Yes....I said, hmmmmm I really don't think GOD would view it that way.

That is the stuff that DRIVES me Bonkers. That is any religion and that is any fanatic from it.

Ok the safety dance is on, I must go groove to the music instead of ranting! (off soap box, now grooving to the beat)
