I bailed in the 1980s, when the Catholic clergy in El Salvador were arming and supporting Communist rebels, and teaching that Jesus Christ was the first Communist. [...]Looking for a denomination, over here.

If you're looking for one with no sinners in it, you'll be looking till you die.

Good point, but my standards are not quite that high. If I could hit the three high points of belief in God & Jesus Christ, not supporting people trying to shoot me or eat my liver in third world settings, and with a hierarchy (if any) that opposes rather than celebrates sin, I'd be happy.

As it is I have a Bible, my faith, and I am happy, but it's uplifting to worship with others; and doing good works in the framework of a church is also pleasing to the psyche and, I believe, the soul. So I'll keep looking, not for a Church without sin but for one where sin isn't the headliner, getting top billing over Jesus -- and that's how I felt, and feel, about the RCC and ECUSA. I don't mean to disparage those Christians who keep faith within those churches.

d.o.l.
