HA, HA, ha, ha. Good for you, Amanda. I think God likes when we challenge Him. I don't think blind obedience is what God wants - some of the greatest thinkers in my faith have been famous for their radical conclusions (Galileo, for instance). My priest is always saying that the laity acts on an informed conscience and then the hierarchy is *forced* to follow, regardless of church teaching. I love my faith but don't suspend my intellect for it. That would be wrong. -------- God bless :-) Mary Ann > Surely any entity powerful enough to be a / the God (Allah,etc), would > want > created entities to use their full potentail. > > Me, I'm inclined to believe in God, 'cos to believe all this exists by > accident is too difficult - that doesn't mean he/she/it is getting blind > obedience > out me... on the contrary I'm planning to respond with a punch on the nose > if > possible ! > Amanda (still not hit by lightning bolts) > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
