I've got to hand it to you, @smhwhcoetsloetoeo , your #39 seemed to me like a witty response, if we're going to evaluate it solely on the basis of its comedic creativity. You are apparently a creative spirit who might thrive as a capable comedy writer -- and heaven knows (pun intended) that there is room for a few more capable comedy writers lately.

But comedy aside, Christianity is an enormous force for good. It tends to get a bad rap sometimes, because it suggests (as do Judaism and Islam) that morality has an absolute foundation and is not a buffet filled with treats to be selected and savored as we choose.

But that morality seems pretty simple and clear and doesn't really impose upon us anything that should be particularly objectionable to a person who is empathetic, fair and kind. I tend to oversimplify it by thinking of it as a coupling of faith, gratitude and the Golden Rule.

After reading to this point, some will probably quickly bring up, at least internally if not in a post, "the Crusades" or the teachings of some southern pastor from the 1850s about slavery or some other confusion of faulty human judgment with the teachings of Jesus (who was Jewish from birth and seemed to both value and understand his native faith quite well).

But the self-interested or mistaken teachings of men can unfortunately differ from the teachings of Jesus, and that is not always recognized when it occurs. Jesus is unique, and for those who actually knew Him (and there were many) He was pretty startling and sufficiently convincing -- as I wish we could ask the old Romans who actually witnessed the astonishing courage and faith of His followers back when such faith was quite dangerous to espouse.

Indeed, @OLLiEparker , I didn't mention my religion in my post. I was not trying to sell my own religion. I don't offer a sales pitch -- only some things to reflect upon, for those who choose to do so.
