GOOD!

Last time I was in church for something or other the sermon was complaining about how the young people are all “cafeteria catholics.” Said they are affiliated with the religion but go in and only order the parts of it they like, and ignore the parts that they don’t. That’s me exactly. I’ll take the eternal salvation, hold the celibacy, marriage, intolerance, and lack of option for an abortion. And stop pushing your damn morals already. ---

Sounds like me. I’m a church CEO. Christmas and Easter only, LOL. Going to (Protestant) church my whole childhood, the best thing I think it taught was to be a good person. I’d probably take my kids to the same church for the same reasons. ---

All religions will be at least mildly successful because there are always going to be people who need something to believe in. Hopefully any one doesn’t become too powerful and try to take control of the entire world.
