How are we going to support the ongoing outreach through speaking, writing or otherwise? Do you tithe? There may be other questions I'm not arguing about church attendance but if everyone quit going who is carrying the torch? Are you?
I also want it to be known that my post isn't a defense of the Catholic church as some here have had a problem with. As far as I'm concerned they are not a Bible based doctrine and it's no wonder they have allowed what they have.
Isn't freedom of religion great? My beliefs and actions are mine. Truly no one's business how or why. Isn't freedom of religion great. I do not broadcast my actions, or brag about them as many do. Isn't freedom of religion great? To me being a good person is not a dick measuring holier than thou contest.
