lol!
and i totally agree with you kath (not about the old woman thing). religion has become corrupted. God is this all powerfull being which people will bow down to and obey. thats fine, but people are being forced to obey people supposedly spreading the word of God. People are thretened with eternal damnation in the pits of hell if they step out of line, so they do as their priests and vicars etc. say (no offence meant by the way). but its not God in control any more, iths them, and i think that is wrong. we should be able to find our own way.
i know what i mean even if no one else here doenst. i managed to put it forward in better english last time i had this discussion.

None taken. I agree wholeheatedly. It isn't my job to tell people how to behave, any more than I'd take the blindest bit of notice of them telling me. The only people with a say in what I do are the Holy One, me, and anyone whom my behaviour affects. Of course, in a way that's everyone...
Actually, I don't think God wants people to bow down and obey. I think s/he wants us to be happy and loving and take care of ourselves, each other and this glorious creation. And if along the way we can muster and occasional "Ta God" that's a bonus. It's human beings who want us to bow down and obey. Usually to them.
I'm part of the system purely because I believe God wanted me there. Basically, to run counter to much of what was going on. It's a bloody uncomfortable place to be, and I can't thank him/her enough for allowing me now to move into a different sphere where I can be more truly who I am, instead of pushing the river uphill all the time. My Life is just steadily getting better.

The problem with anything organised is it needs leaders who are good at resource management, man management, finance etc. The problem for religion is that the people who are good at the above are not necessarily the most enlightened or whatever the polite term of highly holy is. It's like any organisation in this world...the accountant is generally in charge. Glad to hear you feel you are making progress thought Rev, a friend of mine who is a fairly new rev (weird high church stuff) thinks the water is pushing him back down the hill to borrow your metaphor.

I don't have this one. Otherwise I'd cap for you. I'm game for rewrites. I was rewriting '28 days later' but it featured this extra character called RevdKathy, who the officer kept for himself...
