I think you guys can settle these disagreements once and for all. How about a donate to FreeRepublic campaign for next month. Everyone send in a donation to Free Republic in the name of your faith.
Whichever group sends in the most will be declared the true faith and everyone else will have to admit they are heretics.

I found the article instructive.

Remember, it was RELIGIOUS men that clashed with Jesus because they were afraid of Him taking their place away. They should have joined John the Baptist in saying “He must become greater, I must become less important.”

“In holy things may be unholy greed”—George MacDonald

The perks of religious office spoil many a man, and it spans the entire spectrum of Christendom. Catholics may have a long resume of shifty leaders, but so did Israel and so does everyone else.

This is a core human nature problem.

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,

' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'
