[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2178286, member: 14520"] Well beast1989, let's get some more opinions going. I agree with what you have said but for me I actually try to treat folks better than I like to be treated...I must be a tiny bit closer to being religious than you are...LOL. I grew up a Heinze 57 Christian ( till 20 rears old) though most of if was Methodist or Baptist. At 20 I married a Catholic and became very involved in the Church for over 25 years. I have read the Bible a few times and each time I did my best to understand as much of I as I could. I bought a Bible that was written in laymans terms. Frankly I did not like that particular version as it really seemed to be to much the opinion of the author than of an open minded theologian. I do believe anyone can have a wonderful fulfilling relationship with God without organized religion. God will guide you as he wants to he does not need the help of the folks in a building. The building and the folks are for social interaction. Yep, lots of folks need that. I'm just not one of them. Oh, beast1989, one thing you'll need to do if you want to do the heaven thing when you die is believe Jesus is your Lord and savior...read John 3:16, it's all in there. If you think heaven is just some kind of sales pitch to get folks to be good while they are mortal then you can save the reading time and not believe.
