"Religion should be nice. It should have no doctrines, since that would create division. There are no moral absolutes, no objective truths. In an ideal world, you should not be able to put a
cigarette-paper between a Catholic and a Buddhist. Since we are all going to Heaven, regardless of our conduct on earth, what is the point of all this violence on Calvary? Of course, we need
some ritual and collective spirituality: so, let’s go and hang some cuddly toys on the railings of Kensington Palace. What we need is a one-size-fits-all, syncretic religion, centred on the United
Nations; an ethical code that does not restrict us from the perpetual gratification of all appetites."

YES! LOVE it. I am so sick of hearing people say that Christians should adopt this way of thinking. And I'm sorry to say, that goes for Savage and Glenn Beck. Did anyone catch Beck's friday show, where he thought it was gross for people to wear crosses and crucifixes? I'm paraphrasing, gross wasn't his exact word. He was originally saying that the nails people were buying were ridiculous. (I actually don't feel like wearing a nail around my neck, but I will tell you this, I think I'm going to get one to keep with me. I will look at it when I get wrapped up in my own day, and start ignoring the Holy Spirit again....) But then he lumped in people wearing crosses into that. He's Mormon, by the way.

Why does everyone feel they have to tell us what our religion is, and how it should be?

Good morning, SF.

On further reading I found you are a part of this thread, othewise I would have included a ping to you about my post # 107.

"Why does everyone feel they have to tell us what our religion is, and how it should be?

Because they're being manipulated by Satan?
