A waste of time. After all, nothing that you do or do not do will cause God to cease to accept you and approve of you.

Therefore, do as thou wilt.

See how easy it is to get from Joel Osteen to Anton LeVay?

a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic.

An effective church helps sinners improve their lives. It doesn't reaffirm their sins.

The church of big government, OTOH, takes from those who have achieved some degree of success in overcoming their sins to enable those who refuse to make the effort.
