Well, I am a Christian and I attend a Assembly of God church. I am very active in my church and I'm a vocalist on the worship team. My church has a few Sly Guys in it. I will show you a few pics of sly guys from my church. We have a bit being a small church.The first picture shows my friend Glenn, who is the head of recovery ministries at my church. The next person is Edd, the ministry intern. Then there is myself and my friend Bubba, who is a member of this group and was visiting from Idaho.The next picture is of myself and Atlas. I have to say that while Atlas is close to 60, I am sure that being sly makes him look younger.The fourth pic is Edd, Jason, myself and Caleb. So you can see that we need to wear blinders where I go to church. The shine can be blinding! The third pic is myself and Ray, my twin vocalist on the worship team.
I once visited a Methodist church in the town where I lived. When the minister went up to the pulpit to deliver the sermon he suddenly broke up laughing. Someone had left a note on the pulpit which said:"God so loved the world that He did not send a committee.".

Good gracious, we have committees to set up committees!

The Methodist formed a committee!!As a life long Methodist, I can tell you that's the absolute truth. Good gracious, we have committees to set up committees!

I think even Neolithic man probably disputed personal beliefs. It's been going on for millenia, and probably always will.
My mother is a Wiccan High Priestess, dad is a Southern Baptist. My family in law are Church of Christ. My uncle is a wonderful proud gay man. I have a cousin who is the head of the Franciscan Order (Anglican) in San Francisco. I am an active rebellious Latter-Day Saint with Buddhist leanings (Returned missionary to Hong Kong, Ward Clerk, serve weekly in the Sacramento Temple.) I am also a Freemason. Family reunions are great! The great secret to bliss and harmony in our mixed up extended family is simple.... we love one another. Humor is mixed in, jokes and teasing surround our holiday tables. "Cast any good spells mom?" "Sister Pam, what do you want for your birthday? Lemme guess.... brown socks?" "Uncle Bill, how's aunt John?" "Hey Mike, found a second wife yet? And while you're at it, where is the treasure?" We chuckle... and we just simply love! Life is too short to not love one another, and not be able to laugh at the human condition. It is my belief that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.
