I completely agree with the former and I have never denied the latter. And I would also add that, eventually, those who try really hard can follow Jesus to a T, which is the goal of the whole enterprise. But to each their own. In any case, thanks for your honesty -- really impressive. Especially that part about you accepting only those who pay your bills, who live with you, believe the same as you, or have similar interests. Good luck on your "Christian" path ;P
