Semi-random thought

The problem with believing in a god who forgives all of one's sins is that it leads to the assumption that all sins are forgiveable, and therefore permissible.  (But perhaps that's the point.)

Gatherings of worshipers are for the purpose of reinforcing the idea of G-d in our minds. Left to ourselves, very few of us can maintain the focus on Deity with the distractions of life around us. We need to gather to worship. I never said that we needed a particular building type to worship in.

Generally, we find what we are looking for. If we go to church looking for hypocrisy and ostentation, we are bound to find it. (There are a few choice words about those in the Bible too.) If we attend Church looking to find a spirit of peace and love that will allow us to change our desires to help others more, we can find that too.

The best part about G-d is that He takes us as we are, and helps to make us better. We don't have to be perfect (or even good) to start.
