Our religious zealot Pat Robertson just advocated the assassination of another world leader. The Mormons ( of which I am ) massacred over 150 settlers passing through Utah. Here in Phoenix,the Catholic bishop ran over and killed a man when he was driving drunk--then said he did not see anything--obviously not noticing the "thump" on his hood when the body rolled over the car. Catholics have gotten a bad rap lately because of "closet sodomy" which is so shameful that the young men who experienced it have only now began to tell their stories. My great grandfather,and all the men of his family were preachers. I also grew up with fanatical,hypocritcal teachings which were given me from the end of a stick,a boot,a razor strop,a cane,willow branches -or whatever was available to bloody my back. My brother used to treat the bloody welts on my back!! In church I would point out the idiosncrasies too. The pastor driving a brand new caddillac,smoking a big cigar. But what about the church and the people in it? WHat do you suppose God was doing when he forgave King David for adultery,and the killing of Bathsheba`s husband? WHy do you suppose Jesus said," If you are to keep any one of my laws--love your neighbor" DO not think for a moment that the curriculum of the church is what religion and worship is all about. Two people who discuss the bible are creating an impromptu church,and adoring God in their own way. Lastly--if God did not have a sense of humor--why would he have created mosquitoes? This is MY religion too--and there is no reason why I can`t poke fun at it. You do not know my relationship with God,but it is obviously good,because I am still constantly blessed. You don`t suppose maybe the way you have been talking down to Nadya had caused some bad feelings either? Don`t see the ant in my eye--when there is an elephant in your own
