Thanks, but it's those who are being diverted to whom I was referring. Obviously many people "get" the spiritual side of religion.IMHO, the reason they are screwing up is because they are looking at religion as an end to itself and not simply a tool to a greater understanding of God.
There are so many denominations because until Jesus returns and clears it all up, the best anyone could do is guess.
Hey, they may have it all screwed up but at least they tried.
I don't think so. In spite of the bad publicity about the corruption and many perverts in the churches there are many who are sincere and dedicated to a greater understanding and communion with God. They have just been diverted by archaic superstitious lore and are trapped.
One a person loses the ability to be rational how can they perceive the only rational course to take that will restore them to a right mind?
