But you're a taoist and so I think that you understand that all things balance out.

Have you ever known a really good person who was inspired by their church community? I have.

Have you ever thought about the strength that such a community has brought to many people? And by this, I mean the strength and the courage to do good things. I have.

Have you ever known any minister, priest, rabbi or other religious person who was seriously committed to creating love and not division? I have.

I know that you're really sensitive to the whole religion issue, but most people need the strength of a community.

In Catholicism, part of the creed goes "I believe in the communion of saints" by which it means the present influence of all good people in our lives.

In Buddhism, it is traditional to "take refuge in the Buddha" (awakening), "the Dharma" (the path to awakening), "and the Sangha" (the community of people on the path to awakening).

Did you know that BooDaah archived your thread "Religion is Wack"?

Peace.
