[net.religion] Following "churches"

grw@fortune.UUCP (Glenn Wichman) (08/29/83)

	I, for one, am a Christian who takes the commandment
    "Thou shalt not kill" very seriously, and the commandment
    "Love your enemies" even more seriously.  Thus I do not
    consent to be drafted, or even register for the draft.  This
    is because I follow the teachings of Christ, which fortunately
    seem to have arrived intact in the Bible despite attempts
    to destroy or condense it.
	I don't follow "churches" -- I follow the teachings of
    the Old & New Testaments.  And I recommend it strongly --
    The Bible hasn't sold out.  Sooner or later Churches trade
    dogma for power.
