Interpretation

by clever men who garnish thier existence by proclaimation of God's divinity bestowed upon them to make such interpretations "in the Name of God" are really only giving their "opinion." And, as the saying goes, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

Faith is sacred and so should remain private.  But that means we must all be quiet about what we believe so as to not "caste pearls before swine" and "pray in secret" and "be not as the publicans."  The circumcision should tell us most about sacredness of faith--we don't go around exposing our genitals to everyone as a sign of our faith, yet it was given to the Hebrews as such.  Must be meant to be private.

Xeno-x -- are you aware of the estimated count of Christian denominations

worldwide? Including only those of congregations who have registered as some form of church and have some form of clergy, the number is over 33,000. Very telling in the numbers is that only 20 years ago, the total was less than 15,000. These tallies are limited to those religions that hold a belief that Jesus Christ was the son of God. Islam on the other hand has not yet broken 1,000 differing denominations, guestimated at around 700 worldwide. In answer to the question you pose in this blog, it is downright comical to hear someone of a religion that has exponentially splintered in recent years, suggest they are on the right path to heaven....like what are the odds?

...well ...at least 33,000 to 1....
