Agent,
To be as truthful and as honest as I can given my shortcomings and ineptitude, anyone who places my religious threads and posts under scrutiny would have to arrive at the same conclusion.
Given a healthy ability to reason and arrive at logical conclusion, what else could it be?
It makes sense.
Here's a quote for anyone to copy and tape to their monitor. Imo, It really is amusing:
"The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable."
The first part is true, the second part is not true.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life".
He does not exist to make lives miserable.
What happened to me was a chastisement and a correction. I believe it happened (but honestly, what do I really know?) because of my defiance, disobedience to God's word and desire to sin.
You do not need to do what I did to arrive where I am now. Nor would I suggest it. There are much easier paths to take than the one I chose (Of my own free will, of course. I would have it no other way.)
You can "jump out smart or jump out stupid."
But why jump at all? Maybe one doesn't feel like jumping. Maybe one doesn't want to jump.
Okay with me. I tried to do what God wants me to do. Tell others.
As far as churches being BIG business. Are they really bigger than the oil companies? Anyone have any stats on this? How 'bout the Hallowed Halls of Haliburton? LOL!
