Which tells us that Christianity is truth, and the devil is
working very hard to win his hopeless battle.  If the battle
were not real, then why are people so motivated.  Did we
evolve to be this way?  God's church is infallible.  Since
the Roman Catholic church came into power (circa 1100's), it
became the first protestant movement and became fallible.
What it did was evil & terrible.  The rest of protestant
Christianity has been protesting these protestors ever
since.  The remaining remnant Church can be found with the
Orthodox Greeks, Russians, Ukrainians, Coptic, etc.  In
America, Orthodoxy mostly shows up as an ethnic thing.  What
a disappointment.  You may think you are in the perfect
church, but unless you have experienced the real thing then
you a likely to be deceived by any counterfeit (i.e.,
protestant church -- which includes the Roman Catholics +
pope & crap.)  In the churches that I go to, every priest
was ordained by bishops who were ordained by bishops before
them who were ordained by the original apostles who were
ordained by Christ Himself.  You can't become an Orthodox
priest any other way.  Can you say this about your
protestant denomination?  Care to be a mail order baptist
priest? ;-)

Granted.  As a particularly annoying Christian, I have
learned many times over that people don't like to be told
what to believe.  If you don't believe me, read the above
paragraph again about Orthodoxy.  Too many people believe
that their particular denomination is the correct one, and
if you aren't a member of that then you are going to hell or
at least showing up in heaven in the cheap seats.

> "Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for
weak-minded people who need strength in numbers."

My quote, "Wanton disregard for God is a sin and an opiate
for strong-willed people who are so victimized by corruption
that they now refuse to put their faith anywhere except in
themselves."

Eh, that didn't come out as good as I wanted it to.  I
haven't had my veggies today.

Andrews post implying that we are idiots.

I'm a Floridiot.  Florida + ID10T

> Marc, it seems you're just against religion.

No...  Being an atheist is by some regarded as a religion of
its own.  :-)

I'm still 50ish messages behind here.  This is what I like
about the internet --  In real world conversations the
subject changes before I can fit a word in edgewise.
