This passage is in the new testament and I'll have to look up the exact reference later. Righteousness and Religion don't count for anything. But before I further this thought you must first be a believer in God (by whatever name you call him). If you don't believe then what's the point. But if you do believe then you must certainly recall some scriptures. I read some post that stated that God did not intend for religion to be organized. But he most certainly did. In the old testament there is scripture reference stating forsake not the gathering together of yourselves as the manner of some is... meaning that people of faith should assemble together. And why should we gather together? As is stated in the new testament Faith is built from faith to faith.. which is to say that we increase in both knowledge and understanding by gathering together, much as we do here in the befoul list. We share our knowledge, gain understanding, and encourage one another. The apostle Paul also stated that things should be done in order regarding the gathering together. Much of those gathering together events were not however held in Temples but rather in homes of individuals and other places. The Church is not a building but rather it refers to the Faithful followers. The Temples are no less sacred but still only a place to gather together. No one can argue that much of the so called Christian community today is filled with hypocrites, socialites, etc...many people seeking to put forward a good face to mask their evil deeds. The scripture also states ..that where good is, evil is also present... I agree that most of what exist of religious organizations today is either a cult or cult like but not all. I will always be reluctant to stereotype anyone because I believe that there is always some good to be found within the bad (speaking of people). Our challenge today is to find someone in which we can gather together with who is indeed seeking after God and his will in our lives that we can increase our faith through association with their faith. And what if you don't believe as I believe? It doesn't matter to me. I can't save you anyway. Save you (the non-believer) from what? It doesn't matter...you don't believe. I will still pray to my God that he bless you and your house and that we may all live in peace and that we can learn to live as equals on this planet. And I can share my efforts with my neighbors (of various faiths) to bring equity to the world starting with my neighbors. None of my neighbors share the same faith but we do share this planet and I hope that we can learn together how to reap, replenish and restore what this earth has for us.

Re: Sermon on the mount...Re: [Biofuel] Titration problems
LOL, another outstanding Toddism! I grew up in Houston, Texas. For those not familiar with American geography, Houston is a port city along the coast of Texas, and considered to be part of the deep south. We used to have routine visits (patrols) by the local church (division) of southern Baptists who would send small groups of dedicated parishioners (platoons) to my parents doorstep with smiling, but always different, faces, and always the same question. Have you been saved? My fathers answer, which used to make me laugh as a kid and now really makes me bust a gut, was short and sweet. He would just smile and say, Yes I have been, until now that is, from a$$s like ya'll! Somehow I think my father and you, Todd, would have gotten along just fine.
