Whoa, this is a big one, so I'm gonna have to cover it piecemeal.
Sure, that's what they all (non-denominational Christians) say.
Wow, I've never heard that one before.
Ha!
That's a good one!
And yet they all still have them.
I do the same thing... ya know, except with out the "for God" part. Why do we need God again?
So basically "We don't need all those stupid rules, except when we need them". Wow, that has got to be the most meaningless statement I have ever heard.
I'm gonna stop you there; that is the correct answer.
Except for the one where, ya know... he doesn't exist!

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
