Then again, if I only wanted to attend a church that was good, true and without error -- according to my transitory ego-stoked beliefs -- I'd have to invent my own religion. But wait a moment. There'd be a problem. I'd have to excommunicate the priest and his entire congregation! You see, I know that particular bishop/priest/congregation too well. With apologies to Groucho Marx: I'd never want to join a church that had someone like me for their founding bishop, especially if I was the only member!
