A Question On Manipulation for the Religious

[Imaginaryfriendless]

Only a fool can look at his little corner of the world and proclaim that the whole planet will conform to what he knows of his little corner of it.

Hmm. So I assume you have visited these 30K churches yourself? Or are you guilty of the same foolishness?

That is the key to the freedom we have been given in our greatest command. (To love God with all of our being) Now, because we are all a little different this love will manifest itself differently from person to person culture to culture, which means their is a great need for freedom and diversity in God's church. Which is why we have so many Jesus Christ centered churches. Your two examples are but 2 of over 30K supposed 'Christian Churches.'

Now give a slightly larger perspective, do you really think that all churches on this planet have or currently operate the way you describe?

I can't speak for all, of course, but I am exceptionally well-travelled, and Livingnumbers' story is a familiar one. 

The tattered remains of fables sorted through by Constantine and his council of Nicaea does not a holy writ make. How does one "decide" that another, who died 325 years before, is the son of God? Random drawing? Darts?
