Sometimes I think there is a class of people who could benefit from organized religion. JBKlyde, I do not think you belong in this category. Just one man's opinion, but you are not going to find any easy answers in religion. It is not going to help you turn the world into a simple, black-and-white affair, with breezy decisions and clear distinctions. The world is complicated. Religion tries to describe the world as simple, because religion is stupid.

If I were educated I'd be a politician, If I were a politician I would fight for Christians rights, Like prayer in public schools and anti abortion sort of stuff, I'm not educated therefore I am not a politician, and therefore I have no real power except what I write. Without education my words are least to puny. Jesus IS the word therefore I can only be as religious as and 11th grader because that's level I write on. If I were truly religious I would not have flunked out of college. Therefore I am not religious.

JBKlyde, I think you have enough other problems without worrying about religion. What I mean is, since you are fighting your own brain chemistry to get a firmer grip on reality, why confuse yourself trying to apply the rules of a mythology? Concentrate on reality--that is what you need more of.
