There are many reasons other than morals that swells the churches on Sunday. Tradition teaches all good people attend to worship God. Tis a shame they are misled by false teaching of the subject. Tis a shame morals are preached and not exampled. Tis a shame so many go for other reasons.

I love people and discussion groups. I love group singing. I love the people who attend church to try to find a closeness with God.

I despise to hear the lie that we are sinners and going to hell unless we believe in Jesus. That is a lie more harmful to humanity than Clinton's biggies. I despise the idea of living this life with such inequalities because the more I suffer now the better chance I will have after death. I despise seeing the grandeur of church property and preachers cadillacs and asking for the widows mite or tithes. I despise the tax-free status of churches forcing non-believers to support them with government services.

I could go on forever about the negativity of church and how it should be teaching true religion. Most informed people who cannot swallow this teaching tend to discard religion and toss out the baby with the bath water.
