Once again, zen_tom, I like the way you think. And thank you for calling me to the carpet. While the situation with my grandma is true, I don't have much concern for whether she makes it in to heaven because I don't believe in heaven. My real objective, and it probably is considered trolling, was to point out some of the "bollocks" part. I just wasn't sure how to present it.
Anyway, I agree with you (as usual) that Christianity, and religion in general, can be a very positive social impetus so long as people don't get bogged down by splitting hairs. Splitting hairs myself is certainly not the best way to go about forwarding that impetus.
"Be the change you want to see in the world." Thanks, zen_tom, for reminding me that Gandhi had the right idea. Mods, you can close the thread if you wish, but I think a solid conversation has been started here.
