--- Quote ---I would say the vagueness is appropriately summarised by the entire corpus of theology.

I believed the moment I heard that Jesus died on a cross for my sins to be forgiven.  I also believed the moment I heard that Jesus loved me.  I just never understood why.  There wasn't a single sermon, or church service that gave me reason for any more understanding of my new found faith, so I see what your saying about the vagueness of theology.

I think it's a problem too.

I was a Christian for almost two years before I had enough discussions with others and studied the Bible enough to fully understand all the nuances of why I had become a Christian.

T-C, as an American you have the right to believe any fool thing you want. You also had the right of free choise,as to stay or leave your program.Most of the people here did not have that choise. They were minors.If minors in your program are forced to ppadopt a religion or even made to read the Bible.(via court order),that is a clear violation of the separation of church and state. Believe what you want but don't force it upon children who don't know any better.

TC_Saved_Me:
none-ya, that is completely irrelevant to the conversation that has taken place here.  You are talking about a completely different Teen Challenge.  Furthermore, we stopped talking about Teen Challenge over a week ago in this Discussion.

Samara:
TC - I am happy you are happier and presumably, more ethical. But it all sounds batshit crazy to me.  No different than mythology.

And, really, I have a greater appreciation when people "do the right thing" without the hope or promise of reward. Intrinsic value.

none-ya:
God save me from your followers!
