Yes, the sad truth is that when people of like mind get together, they form a church, or something like a church, and all that flourishes in most churches is jealousy and bad faith. I am hoping this will not be true of gatherings on the internet.

"and all that flourishes in most churches is jealousy and bad faith"

unless of course it is the roman catholic church - though others have tried, no one has surpassed the rc in creating wealth, power and secrecy, though i guess those tie in with jealousy and bad faith more than somewhat...

"The key to your own immortality is never to be found in an external location" this secret has allowed the church fathers to delude people for millenia...and i have little doubt that the current "financial global meltdown" is partly being created because TOO MANY PEOPLE have started to realize the path to god is NOT THRU MIDDLEMEN...
