  *sigh*   I wasn't making it up, Chad.  Based on your comments below,
I'm willing to bet (and accept, and hope) that my statements are false
regarding YOUR church.

  The stuff that I said is paraphrased, accurately, from stuff said to
me by [I'm somewhat embarrassed to say] my father.  YCMV. [your church
may vary] See below.

  Let's see.  I'm going to burn in hell because I like german sports
cars, I'm going to burn in hell because I listen to rock music, I'm
going to burn in hell because I banged my first girlfriend using birth
control when we were 17 and unmarried, and I'm going to burn in hell
because I like making and spending money.

  These things were REALLY SAID TO ME.  No shit.  YOUR church may not be
ridiculous (and if it isn't, I applaud you!)...but some peoples' are.

  Have you ever driven in the DC metro area during the day?

  Technically I'm protestant as well.  Believing, but not practicing.
My father, on the other hand, is a Born Again Christian...twice as
much of a pain the second time around.

  Again, no offense is intended to any listmembers of any religious
bent.  ANYTHING can be abused and taken to extremes...what I'm
describing (and complaining about) is a case of abuse and extremism.
