1. Remember some people are biologically primed to be religious. Who do

we want them following?

[Skittles]

2. religion encourages humility?

alrighty then

[applegrove]

3. Some churches do.

[Skittles]

4. most of the church folk I know think they are better than others

you know, how everyone else is GOING TO HELL

[applegrove]

5. Well that happens in Canada on occassion but it is way more common in the US.

Church does not have to be that way. I'm sorry for you. Most of the church goers I have known are good eggs who walked the walk. I have a small circle. That's how I roll. So it is not a statistical survey.

6. I can count on one hand the number of people I think behave the way Jesus would approve

overwhelmingly, most of them do not

[applegrove]

7. Where would you have the people who are religiously inclined go? What

should they follow?

[Skittles]

8. REALITY

you do not need religion to be a good person....I wish people would just be good because it's the right thing to do, not because they expect some kind of reward

done here, I really hate debating this crap

[applegrove]

9. Okay. I respect you're doneness.

10. Humility is a core principle of Christianity

but not for people who use Christianity as a political base.
