The Mormons make up for everyone else.RaceBannon said:
I didn't read the article but my guess would be the key variable is the positive outlook or thinking of the subject. And of course that is not restricted to religious belief.allpurpleallgold said:"But the key variable does not appear to be religion itself"

I have a question ....
How come God stopped doing 'miracles' ...? I mean if he did them in 'Biblical' tones couldnthe do them now? Cause I'd like to see a miracle before I start giving my money to an organization that boogers kids ....
Also I find it interesting that there is one true and correct religion ... How can one unverified story be better and more true or real than another unverified story?
... Is it a possibility that someone more clever than others made all this shit for financial benefit and power...? -

I am very reluctantly join any group, including a particular church. Within the Catholic Church, there are many sects. I joined a Parrish run by Dominicans which is very non-political. Yes, some of my money goes up through the upper levels of the Church, but the vast majority stays within the Parrish and does some excellent work with the homeless, which is very important to me. I agree, there's good and bad. It took me a long time to associate with a Parrish that I was convinced was more good than bad. I like Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits. Those three have been out of favor with Rome for centuries, until very recently.
That makes me happy.

D2D .... It is good to help others ... I like that .. But you skipped over the basic question.
In reality I don't really care and I am happy for whatever makes you happy ... But it doesn't make someone necessarily any happier to have a healthy skepticism about religion - agnosticism - or even find the whole thing absurd and not believe any of it - Atheism - and be OK with it and their place in the Universe than proclaim to be righteous and that you have a ticket to heaven. Because even you, when you sit in a quiet moment by yourself, know that the likelihood that this is real is incredibly, ridiculously slim to none.
I wish I was naive enough to buy into it... But that day passed long ago...
All the best. -
