9. While religion can be used as a tool for conformity.....
in the hands of those looking out for their own self interests, we don't reach consensus rarely if ever (even in our Bible class). But what we do is try to learn to live a better life, show the compassion that was demonstrated for us, and by doing so be worthy and to have hope.

I always find myself quoting Bruce Lee...religon is a boat to help you cross the river. I am also reminded that in my father's mansion, there are many rooms. Which makes me think that he talks to us in the language we understand. And in the end......God would never need a star ship. :spray:

I wish her well in her endeavors and I am sure there are those that her message will resonate with, but as for me....I feel a little bit better knowing I won't be alone during the roughest of times and that sometimes is just the bit of courage I need.
