Ok, so who's the mother of heaven, and on what side is his favourite auntie? And when's heaven's birthday?
Honestly, it's meaningless stuff like that which puts off many intelligent people from looking twice at the Church. I've lost count of the number of times I've walked past a church or chapel which has a biblical text on a poster outside - "God so loved the world,,," or whatever.
What the religious fail to grasp is that, to the non-religous, such stuff is simply meaningless. Speak to people in their own language, then they'll understand. That's why the vernacular and vulgate bibles were banned!
