In one sense you are better off than those who profess being a Christian but live in hypocracy. Kind of you to say so -- and very perceptive, if I might add.

Democracy is a farce. > The media is controlled by the state with the airwaves being polluted with immoral, sexually perverted talk and videos. Or maybe the state is controlled by those who own the media? And I agree about what one sees. In fact, we have CNN and CNBC here, and also NPR and Fox News on satellite radio, and I can't watch or listen to any of that either -- all propaganda. > Gameboys who teach our kids vice and sickening lifestyles that has, imo completely corrupted our country. I don't know who does the teaching but I can't stand the lifestyles, either. It's like that here too. And add drugs to that. > I don't know how anyone survives without a strong reliance on God Actually I used to practice Zen meditation and that also helps.mro.org wisdompubs.org >>It is as simple as stretching exercises, as intimate as counting the breaths, as uncomplicated as accepting one's self, as ordinary as enjoying one's friends."<< > Churches pander to the lusts of the assemblies, no longer having a fear of God and his teachings I'm sure they have also rewritten the Bible and any other religious texts that suit their purpose, particularly where the Mid East (Israel) is concerned.
