for what it's worth, i think that Jim is searching (like a lot of us) for what makes sense. the world is so full of "good" and "evil" but what is good to one may be evil to another so where's the line? who is right? christian? budhists? muslims? can a loving God really hate all of one certain religion but condone wrong-doings of another because it is "chosen." who chose it and which human wrote that it WAS the chosen?
i personally think that, yes, we must choose but the theory that you must choose a "religion" i think is where we tend to drift off-kilter. religions have too much of "mans" own devices. catholicism wonderfully uses the pope to carry out "God's" wishes. as well as many other religions wanting to create order and hold power over the people in ever-so subtle ways. (i really don't think God cared if you ate fish on fridays - but what do i know) Jesus was a radical for his time - turning over the money changers tables in the synagogue would be close to almost a terrorist act back then. He wanted to shake up things. He wanted the people to ask questions and start to THINK on their own. He was jewish but yet had no "religion". He answered to God and wasn't his God the -od of the jews, too?
so i say, READ, educate yourselves - stop taking everything your preacher says as truth - it may not be. and i also say - you go, Jim. more power to you. you actually made me re-think the Lord's prayer. He (Jim) was pointing out the line "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven" saying it is (as i understood it and not his words) good to live your life here and now, in a way that is pleasing and good and makes your own heaven here on earth. i had recited it so many times in my youth, i never thought about what the words meant. thank you Jim Carrey for making ME think.
it made me so sad.
