[DMCForum] Re: Religion on the Forum

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you spell "jaded"?

Must have missed the edict. Oops. Oh well, if I'm going to violate it,
might as well do so in 5-10K.

I would argue that the best way to worship God is in my actions to
others. Kind of hard to feed the hungry or clothe the naked sitting in
a church pew. Organized religious services do serve a purpose (for me,
they are a regular calibration of my life, and refocusing of its
mission). But I'll never see the hurting people around me while my
eyes are looking upwards.

Oops, did it again... Sorry.
