Not to make light of this because it is a tragedy. Three people who in their hearts thought they were serving God and doing something good.
But given that Jesus told a guy to go to his room and pray in private and not make a big showing of it, as Christian myself, just what do we need all these churches for?
For whatever reason I am just awestruck when looking over a body of water. Ocean, lake. Even a creek or pond. That moves me more than some nice paintings or statues pr a well done crucifix. I feel far closer to God standing before these things than in any church.
That is exactly right Truth and the reason I never went a bit further than what I did. It's sad but like the Mormon kid from the other day getting mauled by lions in Guatemala and out in Utah they're hoping ("praying") for a miracle.. Shouldn't have been there and what was learned from the comments was very informative.
As for you I would never question what you wrote in the rest of your comment because I have not the slightest issue with any of it. There is a major difference with a believer like you and most of the others. That's the problem.
I am coming to Illynoise next spring and I do plan on looking you up cuz now I will have the time to do so. We'll flip. Thanks for stopping by Truth and hope you're good and not melting or floating away.
I have to say it-churches are an enormous waste of resources that could be used to feed people, or to house them. That people would be killed on a church-building mission only amplifies the sense of waste.
