So, by that thought, I can be the biggest jagoff (cheap, mean, nasty etc.), but as but as long as I go to Church and say 'Yay God" I am okay.
Not trying to be a smartass, that is something that I never understood that the Catholic church seems to push - go to church, give us money and we'll pretend the rest never happened.
That is one of the very very very big misperceptions that is perpetuated by today's church. Worshipping God does NOT equal going to church. Attending church is meaningless unless it is a part of the life of a christian. There are a lot of people who attend church every Sunday who, according to the Bible, will end up in the same place as people who lead overtly "evil" lives.
