I don't really have an intelligent reply to that Rev, but it makes sense and I got a laugh.

Edit:
I guess that's the catch with religious texts. Its all or nothing, there's no in between. Because honestly, a lot of what jesus is saying is good stuff(if not all, but there's a lot of stuff that i disagree with), and if people who claim to be christians actually lived by what he said and not what fits for them, the world would be a better place. Over time it would seem like the ideas have been cheapened. Reading "WWJD" on a braclet is NOT going to make you a better person.

It's really hard for me to get a complete thought down about religious ideas, without writing a paper to fully explain myself, but if i could explain my overall view on religion and god in one metaphor, it would be this: I'm not going to buy a house just because I like the door; I'd rather be homeless. It's more satisfying for me to build my own house from scratch than to only enjoy the door.
