Faith and religion are two different things Jim. I have faith but not religion... althougth I class myself as a Christian... ie someone who follows the teachings of Jesus... (do not judge others on hearsay (the story of the stoning), do not be greedy share what you can spare, ( sermon on the mount-loaves and fishes) and that there is good and bad in all cultures rellgions countries and communities ( the story of the good samaritan [sp])).

Whether or not you believe in God, I do not believe is important, neither is whether or not you have religion (there are many folk out there that have religion but no faith.. they are the ones who say "how could God let this happen"?)... if you are a good person in harmony with you life, family, community and other peoples, then you will have your place in "heaven" already set aside.

hmmm sounding like a sermon... I should stop before someone flings a lightning bolt

Cheers
