Wallstreeter ,

You have totally misunderstood what I said. when I was talking aobut the 200,000, I was responding to your assertion that just because someone had slept with 200,000 people that any person that followed was necesarily having a relationship with all of those people. My response was that is not necessarily so.

As far as suffering for your faith, I hope you do what is best for you. as for me, I dont think god wants anyone to suffer needlessly. In fact, i dont think I would be impressed by a god that felt he deeded people to suffer to gain greater understanding of him.

I dont personally feel that spirituality involves seeing how much you can torrture yourself to gain a higher understanding. In fact, I fel its exactly the opposite. I think getting as close as possible to unconditional love is the key to gaining a higher path and understanmding.
