It is absolutely true that religion preaches the good things and diverts our lives to success. Your post reminds me of one another post which i have seen at http://www.succcess.org/2008/09/01/the-belief-tree-why-success-is-binary/#comments based on success in life. Your post also depicts the lesson of success.

glad you dug it Liz! Like you, the positive comments are welcome, especially when it seems like the only people who care to post sometimes are just those looking for a fight

Thanks again for your heart and soulfulness in this post…

Grace,

Nicely said. You’ve put forward helfpful suggestions without the us-them approach that stems from the usual critique.

I like what you’ve said about the “multifaceted gospel” and how exploring it provides handles towards maturity in the faith as opposed to having to move beyond the faith to become part of life meaningfully for ourselves and others.
