You may take "religion" (all the little legalistic rules and regulations of the church)out of the mix but you CANNOT take God out of it. For God will judge beleivers and non-beleivers by His word. This is where we as Christians have to try and show others that our God is the one true God. There are many people that beleive in other god's, god's which convince them that it's ok to fly a plane into the World Trade Center, god's that convince them that sex with a minor is ok as long as they both consent, god's that even convince a sniper that he is god. You will find many different opinions on any subject. Go to the prisons and ask a murderer if what he done was justified odds are he'll say "yes, because he killed my brother", ask the pedophile if molesting a child is justified he'll say "yes because I was molested as a child." There is an absolute truth no matter how we or non-beleivers try to water it down. So as stated above you can remove the 'religion', but you cannot remove God. Love in Christ, drew |
