I'm not proclaiming my religious beliefs by quoting lines attributed to
your saviour. I'm quoting *your* religious beliefs, and suggesting that a
true believer would follow them. That is all.


How could you possibly know what John's or anybody else's interpretation of
their personal religious beliefs are? Do you assume that two people
sitting in the same church next to each other in the pew believe *exactly*
the same thing?

Well. My wife has some bad vibes about the Catholic church.
Why? A young life going to mass in Poland,where many would sleep
during mass, then gather outside and engage in un-Christian-like
gossip. She hates gossip.
But she acts like the type of Christian I learned to strive for when I
was growing up and going to a Baptist church - generous in spirit,
seeing the good in people, and always trying to show your good side.

Won't work if you let yourself get ****ed off though.
That's my downfall. Still working on that. Making progress.
Best trick is don't hit the send button if you're ****ed.

I hope you and your wife don't believe that all Catholics engage in gossip
and more than any other religion engages in gossip. There are probably many
horror stories out there about Baptists also. In fact there are probably as
many horror stories as there are religious sects.
