<p>My Sunday school teacher, Mrs Tippy, would complain to my Mother that I wasn't embracing the concept of 'Faith'....not kidding.</p>
<p>Then I learned a little thing called <em>'Occam's Razor: the simplest answer is usually the right answer' </em>(paraphrasing)</p>
<p>That's when God died and I became FREEEEEEEEE ;0)</p>

<p>Liz - my arms are getting tired!</p>
<p>Blanche - LOL The parables ARE delightful, aren't they? Re: your final question: Constantine, early societies, lack of law, etc. Religion became a machine when people began living in communities. Control and order were necessary but people need to be motivated to change their ways. Particularly if the changes are painful or inconvenient. :c )</p>

<p>A *very* good read, Dana. When I was little, I only read Jesus's parables. He was the first man I fell in love with.</p>
<p>He was the first adult I came across, if only in print, that made any sense to me. As I grew and began investigating the rest of the bible I couldn't figure out how the futch this man Jesus's story ended up in *that* book so full of utter bs. I'm sorry, but that's how I still feel. I believe Jesus would weep endlessly at *most* of those who call themselves Christians…</p>

I believe Jesus would weep endlessly at *most* of those who call themselves Christians today,...and yeah, if there *is* a God, he or she certainly *does* have some 'splainin' to do. I took the main message from Jesus to be : " Look,... yeah this is all really fuc*ed up but if we come together and try to help each other out, it doesn't have to suck so bad. "</p>
<p>Now, how do you think that got changed into : " Do as we say, not as we do ( and for Heaven's sake *sad, distressed, Satan-has-your-puppy-and-he's-going-to-kill- it-if-you-don't-give-us-money look here* don't forget to tithe).
