Emotion is a great thing, I suggest you feed vs. oppress it. It's what makes life worth living.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying bull****e is bull****e and you're a perpetrator. All this implies is that clergymen are hypsters just like ad men who market products that nobody needs. Certainly doesn't put religion or mindless consumerism in a positive light. I guess I would consider them virtually indistinguishable myself.

Calm down, calm down. I'm glad you're breaking out of your repression phase. It's ok. By the way, did you type that on your iPad 2?
 
Point taken. What people see displayed in the media does not set a desirable view point of what faith is capable of.

That being said, it comes from the media and that in itself is a whole nother story not worth wasting brain cells over.

We all work out our own salvation with fear and trembling as we interpret life. If we didn't have bad things happen in life, we would likely not understand the value of good things. You must have the one to see the other.

How we interpret makes us neither except in our own mind. Not worth fighting to convince others that our interpretation is the right one because we must have both.

So, stop fighting and let's make a toast that the world indeed did not end.
