So are you one of those people that say "Don't confuse me with the facts, I've already made up made up my mind"?

okay. if your mother got charged with a crime, would you persecute her and demand that she be sent to jail, or would you defend her to the very end. think about it
and yes, i guess i am just a blindly loyal friend.

If it were my mother and I knew she was guilty of victimizing children, I'd quietly hold her hand and offer her all the moral support in the world privately. But no, I would not defend her or deny the truth. Wouldn't help her or anyone in the long run.
Oh, and in case you forgot, one of the promises the Suds make to their customers (your parents) is that they'll help put your family back together again. Cheryl is not your mother. Never was. Never will be. The one you got is the only one you'll ever have.
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

I don't think I ever met a jew who would characterize Christianity as the fulfilment of their religion. And Confusanism is older and larger than any other religion on the planet, except for possibly Budism. The Christian faith is pretty much like Islam; a hobbled together patchwork of old world folklore and philosophy w/ a nod to compliance w/ the old Holy Roman Catholic Church.
Regardless, my point is that all religions are pretty much the same. They're all attempts to explain the unexplainable; allagories that we make up so that we don't have to be so scared and uncertain. That's fine, within limits. It gets really horrible when you become evangelical. With that said, my hands down favorite flavor of Christianity is the Quaker/Mennonite/Amish flavor. Those folks are admirable and they practice what they preach.
Here's an example. Much like the Budist and Islamic traditions that practice close kin marriage, the Quakers are suffering rampant genetic problems and birth defects. They know about it. They talk about it. They understand the cause and the obvious solutions. And they call it God's will. Basically, they're demonstrating through their actions (or inaction, as it were) that they'd rather die off than become evangelical! As religions go, ya' just can't hate `em!
Necessity is the excuse for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of the tyrant and the creed of the slave.
