the real definition

[chuck]

good stereotype but awful definition...sorry you feel that way. i'm no christian but there are people i view as very wise and respectable that are christians...and they are far from dependant on the church to fill any void in their lives

also, i know you are somewhat of a forum vet but please note the sticky in this forum...if this goes a bit sour it will be locked in a heartbeat

and religion isn't based on rules, its living your life to "glorify god" , not follow any rules...also its not about having someone love you after you "follow their rules" (as you say), god loves you and god loves me just as much as he loved the pope (just an extreme example), but gods love is unconditional before and after the fact, not depending on anything

and no i'm not mad at ya, you obviously just don't know any better...
