1. Ack! Perhaps the last to say about "religion"...

Hmm, I've heard an excellent definition of religion: "Man's way of
pleasing God" (note the emphasis on man). That is why there are so
many.
I must say this - for all who are offended by this post, or public
prayer, or many other things that have been fought against by the
secular world, where is our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech?
When you see the word "God" or "religion" just do as I do when I come to
something that may be offending to my values - I skip over it! I love
God and he is #1 in my life, but at the same time I realize that God
gave us a free will, and if you choose to not trust Him, or not even
believe in Him, then you exercise that free will. Nobody should deprive
you of that. Thus your free will can delete or rejoice in this post.
Having a free will is what makes us special...God doesn't want mindless
servants, He wants willing children that love Him because He first loved
us. Just as you'd want your child, spouse, or friend to love you, out
of choice, not force.
Any ways, to all of the Christian Euphorians out there, I say thank God
for you. And for all of the non-Christian Euphorians, I say thank God
for you as well. God is no respecter of persons, so why can I say I
have the right to be?
But to all as one I say this: Euphoria's great!! We can all give a
heartfelt hurrah for that, eh?
