[QUOTE="scratch, post: 840621, member: 1674"] And I can understand TOS's point of view as well. But church buildings are built and run by man, not God himself. I disagree with a lot of things that go on in the particular church that I attend. But I understand that it is people, not God, that make policy decisions and chose on what to spend the member's tithes on. I have to look at it that my church supports 32 different charities and that as a whole, a lot of good comes from it. On a local level, we do things like feed the hungry, clothe them, job training, support AA, Drug abusers, build and repair homes, support several youth groups, etc, etc. Whether or not you believe in God or that Jesus was a Divine Being, I think that the world would be a lot better place if what he taught during his short ministry was followed. The ability to forgive and love our enemies, and not judge others is not an easy thing to do. I often hear the argument that churches are full of hypocrites and sinners, and that is true. I recognize that I am one too, but I try to improve myself. [/QUOTE]
