It's all about community. What can we do or how can we help locally? Packing meals, getting food to food shelves, getting clothes or school supplies to those that need it, etc.
And, I'm not saying someone has to be Christian to do those things, it just happens to be what our church does.
And that's a good thing. I have no problem with faith per se; I think it's helped a lot of people, directly and indirectly.
I think you're a decent stand up family guy, MS, from how you portray yourself here at least anyway. I don't see you have any reason to lie about it. Do I think you'd be that same person if you didn't have your faith? I think you probably would. I'm not sure you believe you would, so if that's what you think you need to keep yourself in check, that's your business. You don't tell me how to think, well mostly anyway.
