I am soured on the lies it feeds people, on the disregard it shows
towards social reform and the lack of compassion it demonstates
towards anyone not being wealthy..

I disagree with scripture on several points; I don't believe the heart
of every man is evil, but I do believe the heart of every man is
capable of creating evil.
I do agree with the words of Jesus, love your neighbor as yourself..

Should there "be" any unclean cl***** it is because we have made them
unclean in out minds. Perfection is a mental image and an unreasonable
standard to hold others to when we as people cannot meet it ourselves..
