Why? Do I need to go to church in order to have a fulfilling spiritual life? Do I need to go to church in order to get into heaven? What if the churches in my area are havens of SUV-driving Bush Republicans who would rather run over a needy person than feed him?

what if? to quote an uncle of mine "if the queen had (edited for language here) big brass ones she'd be the king. if is irrelevant to what is." what marauder is saying is you need to visit a few different churches and hear a few different surmons in each to get an understanding of what christianity is about. for example, i do not drink and i never have but i have attended a some AA meetings to see what is all about. now i understand my point of view and that of reformed alcoholics. you do not understand what christains are about. all you see is what you read in the newspaper and hear on the nightly news. whenever some idiot attacks abortion clinics or doctors the christians publically denounce the action(s) in any way available including but not limited to surmons, radio broadcasts like 107.9 fm or the jesus christ show on kfi am 640 for 2 examples in our area and trinity broadcast network or tbn for short. the christian community as a whole denouces the action. obl commits a vile act and i do not hear the muslim community as a whole publically and loudly denounce the actions. obliviously many of them do but the point is we do not hear that. as logical beings we are easily capable of realizing that obl and his minions are not what mainstream islam is about but rather it is a radical fringe group just like christian exodus appears to be. christian exodus will never be able to change south carolina into a christian state.

as for the aryan nation comment someone else made.

you have got to be kidding me. the aryan nation is no more a christian church than the kkk or a buddist temple and i don't care if a pastor did start it. they are as much christians as the protestants are catholic. but now that i think about it they are a prime example of what obl is...a total nutcase hell bent (no pun intended) on hatemongering and attacking anyone who does not agree.
