Andy,

There is only one set of "best scriptures" and they are not denominational, nor are they the product of any man-made religion. They are in the Bible. If this were the general practice, there would be no differences in religious faiths. The only problem with religion, is the meddling of mortal men.

How very true, IMO. Teaching by example is a good deal different than being self-righteous and knowing what is best for everyone.

Dear Andy: "yes, this is sort of what i'm trying to say. that's why i am saddened when someone from a given faith takes me aside and starts telling me how their faith and their scriptures are the best and that the each of the others is somehow, 'impure' or 'provisional"

YET, I have read that more people have been killed or tortured over the name of religion then any other reason. What do you suppose God thinks of that? JDN
