I can quote from the Bible on most things.<BR/>Don't get me wrong, if God is true I would be thrilled for all those good people who believed in him or even those good people who didn't(see C S Lewis' The Final Battle).<BR/>It isn't the good people who confuse me or scare me.MOTHER OF MANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555514242369474271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27792849.post-44609776332143251042007-07-11T03:07:00.000+01:002007-07-11T03:07:00.000+01:00I'm not sure how to respond to this.

They also feed into man's unfortunate penchant for xenophobia. I'm sure that any supreme being would be nonplussed that we need an organized religion at all and his/her response would be: <I>why do you need all that divisive ceremony and ritual to talk to me when I am right here?</I>Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
