Two things: How would you know? And, how about not just what a person feels but also what s/he thinks? > Yes, amazing how different it is if you, say, follow the teachings of > say Marx, or L. Ron Hubbard, or your grandma... Oh wait, it's not. Umm, why does one have to follow *anyone* to the letter? Why can't one just pick and choose? After all, no one is infallible, believer, agnostic or atheist, so why should people act as the others *are* infallible and obviously know better? Which is my basic problem with religion - God never came up to me and told me what She wanted me to do. Failing that, I can conceive of no reason why somebody else's interpretation of what She might or might not want should matter to me.
