Mine wasn't a very good post. I should have tried to say something about the difference between Christianity as a business, the hypocrisy, and trying to be Christlike. Finding God is an entirely different matter, and, for me, seems not to have anything to do with being a Christian. Until I take my vow of poverty and go on Walkabout to find my God in Nature I'm afraid I don't have anything too deep or inspired to say about the whole thing: Just that some Christians often don't seem very Christlike--Crystal Castles and those fancy Yuppie churches with the rock bands--too much for me. Then I think of that Catholic nun, mother Theresa-- the self indulgent new age Christian movement should be ashamed...oh well, plenty of room for all of us to feel ashamed at times. By the way...I went from accolyte to atheist fifteen years ago--so I should not presume to know anymore what it is to be a good Christian, don't keep up with the rule book--and I rarely read a book twice, so unlikely I'll be spending any time with the Bible. The dictionary is one I need...getting a red mark for accolite, heheh.
