sorry to break it to you gramme, but at the end of the day, that is exactly what it is. Gathering with a few hundred like minded individuals daily or weekly doesnt change that it is your reality. and only yours. and that's good. just wish people would keep it to themselves

(Feb 28 07, 12:32)Nope, wrong again BonSeff. It is not my reality, but Christs'. I am merely a participant. By believing in a truth above, beyond and outside myself, how am I living my own personal truth? The God who reveals himself to me is the God who reveals himself to every other Christian. If I was living my own personal truth, there would be no faith involved. I would be worshipping only that which I can experience tangibly. That does not require any amount of faith whatsoever.
I understand that it pisses you off to hear Christians claim that there is no other way. It should piss you off if you don't buy into it. I see the Bible as a double edged sword. It either protects you or pierces you. That's just how it is.
And for those who say Jesus was great 'n all but can't be God...
He claimed to be the only son of God. He claimed that he would be killed and would raise from the dead. Such a man is either: a) telling the truth, and should be accordingly believed, b) a charlatan, and should have been laughed out of Judea, or c) he was utterly insane and deserved to be locked away forever.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. It just doesn't work.
