"We" are supposed to be a hospital for the spiritually sick, not a show case of saints. There was one in whom I respected for his efforts that was ban. After repeated appeals to the Mods I decided to seek him and people like him out. That is why I focus my time here rather than there.
Well, I find it admirable that you are against the organization of religion as I find it to be more about power than anything else. A new question for you now. If you were to be really successful in spreading your version of Christianity, how would you prevent it from becoming one of the organizations you are against?
