   I am a Christian Scientist.   I attend my Church, every week, and come   
   away with the 'true' sense of what religion was meant to be.   An   
   expression of devotion, to the God, of this universe, and in the   
   Christian Science tradition......an acknowledgement of God's 'Love'.   
   An acknowledgement that we are God's creation, created in God's image   
   and likeness.   We are perfect, as God intended.   
      
   In the other thread, there have been attempts, by a few posters, to   
   somehow put restrictions, or, limitations on 'religion' in this country.   
   I don't agree.   The key is finding the 'right' faith, one of peace,   
   love and mutual respect.   Although, we in Christian Science respect   
   every person's right to choose their own religion, like many   
   faiths.......we believe ours is a fine choice.   
      
      
   I invite anyone to visit a local Christian Science Church, I know Oregon   
   has a few.   See for yourself, if it is a faith that needs to be banned,   
   or, regulated.   Or, visit your local 'Reading Room', which are found   
   near, or, at the church edifice.   Explore the teachings of the Bible,   
   and our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, within the pages of "Science and   
   Health: with key to the scriptures".   Any, and all, resources are free   
   for your reading, at any reading room.    ENJOY!
