This is, after all, the "Gold Price Monitor". Those few long time residents well understand the concept of Hell having therein been residing for so long. As we so fully comprehend this most absolute Hell, to which we are banker damned, we must also believe in the equal absolute coming reward of Heaven. Were it not so wouldn't we have all simply repented?

You wrote: To me, it is not surprising that Christianity, worldwide, has lost some 80-85% of its following. Its leadership was too frightened to accept and interpret scientific discovery. It is a pity because people need a religion that they can believe in and one which does not insult their intelligence. *Au contraire* YOU are the one insulting my intelligence, and I am Christian by choice. You obviously have been vaccinated with the fundamentalist Christian religiousity needle quite young, (mennonite perhaps?) to truly still utter that bilge about Christians disdaining scientific discovery. Not the ones I hang out with. Some of my associates work on astronomy projects, medical fertility projects, outter space exploration projects, quantum physics projects, meteorolgy projects, etc., etc., etc. And some of them even believe in the scientific properties and necessities for gold in science projects mentioned above in such a cursory manner. So, just because your upbringing stunted your "religious growth" do NOT paint all Christians with your warped and carefully crafted view of "bonsai christianity." The Christ I live and serve was the Master Scientist, bending wind and wave to obey His will: (meteorology), changed H20 into wine...(a touch of alchemy there?) raised the dead, (that would astound most quantum physicists), healed the sick, blind, halt with just a spoken word or "healing touch" (that would sure save on physician billable hours.) Get the point? The day my christianity became the most precious to me was when I discovered that I had MANY solid TRUTH TEST bases for my faith system, with inspiration, traditional and scientific truth tests just being 3 of MANY. Care to pursue this further? Now if I only knew if He ever took a few colors out of a pan when he goldpanned on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. His Heavenly Parent certainly did spend a share of Holy Writ discussing the "refiner's fire that all who call themselves "Believers" are put to, both individually and corporatedly. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HER ALLIES AND THE JOB WE HAVE TO DO as God's Vengeful Hands and Feet "administrators."

<It is a pity because people need a religion that they can believe in and one which does not insult their intelligence. > A good set of moral values is a very good substitute for the absence of a religion. Simply apply most of the 10 commendments and one does not need anything else.

I am glad you brought up the subject of religion. I personally worship Frodo, the god of computers and waste materials. Frodo is an invisible hardshell turtle who holds up the world. He is all wise and has a very hard shell. His breath is acetylene and oxygen and he eats oxyanions and little crumbly bits. Frodo gave us computer chips, dinosaurs, kangaroos, object oriented programming, rice krispies, gillete razor blades, and toilet paper. All things good come from Frodo. All bad things come from people who do not recognize Frodo. Frodo sayeth that nature is neat, but its basically for reprocessing. This is the great truth because nature itself, Frodo sayeth, is a reprocessing of basic things in the first place. As Frodo sayeth, "All things are oxides or other compounds, seek not purity as it involves an overly energy intensive reduction.. yeah verily, process, process, process" Frodo has this to say about other religions.. Frodo sayeth "Who sayeth they know, had better tell me, as I started it all, and I am confused." Or in his greatest sayings, "Religion is an oversimplification", "Seek not simplicity or it will always fool you." And the one I like: "What Universe?
