Amen, Mick, amen... Ghandi and Carter both posess on central quality and that is their FAITH... Yeah, the term gets thrown around so much that in this chaotic world folks just can't focus on what FAITH is and why FAITH is important. It is what binds us as God's children and while fundamentalists would say that I'm wrong, it is important that we respect those who have different stories but yet worship God... Hey, God knows the good folks from the bad. Yeah, I'm a Christian but there are parts of the Christian *church* and *teachings* that don't jive with the essence of ths teachings of Jesus... In Mattew where Jesus says that only thru him you will know the Father? Hey, I'm not too sure that got translated correctly from Jesus's teachings. And this is important because it allows fundamentalist to take the high ground.... And they don't deserve the high ground. God loves us all...

End of sermon, but when we're talkin' about J.C. (you pick which one) I can get to preachin'...
