Hello Hepzibah..

Well, it looks like you've sucked right into the program, but I'm afraid, I'm not a buyer. In order for your religion to work, you have to convince everyone that they are all terrible and that it has all the rights for the wrong.

Frankly, this should work very well on insecure people that get sucked in on the emotional end of it. But, I can't see it. All that your "sin" is is someone's value judgement. What might be a sin one day to one person, isn't to another. I remember when I was a kid a friend of mine stayed for dinner, but couldn't eat the pot roast that we were having because it was Friday. And back then catholics couldn't eat meat on Friday only fish. It was a "sin" if they did. (This got dumped later, I think. Turns out that some pope invented in to help the Italian fishermen.)

So, you see, your sin is a perception. I can't buy it. You're simply doing what the old snake oil medicine men were doing: preying on the aches and pains (in your case insecurities) of people, then telling them you have the answer. I doubt that many intelligent people would fall for it, as it is definitely geared for people who don't use reasoning.

I suppose the next thing you're going to tell me is that you want to spend eternity in heaven with the "born agains" like Swaggert, Robertson and Baker. That's my concept of Hell.

Knock em dead in the market today..
