I really have not seen staunch support of the church here. Hopefully most of us know that the bible is a translation (room for error) and that many parts of the bible been removed and hidden from the people. However, you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater here, imo. The bible has profound instruction about our walk to become Christ-like. Our nation was founded on Christian principles. Therefore we should expect that people would embrace their core faith more profoundly in these challenging times. Reading parts of the Book of Revelation can be hair raising, eye opening and comforting all at the same time. What it tells most of us is that God has not forsaken us.

I agree religion has been for the most part corrupted and used as an instrument of control. People are taught to believe that Jesus is the only son of God. Yet He is quoted to say that we who follow him shall do greater works. Why would God make only one son? Aren't we all made in His imagine? Yet, there is only one Christ way and we are all welcome to walk that path.
