>Yes, exactly! Even the Pope has addressed this. (Pope John Paul II). Many people go to church for 'selfish' reasons. The 'bless me' clubs, where they are trying to rank up points, and 'cleanse' themselves of 'sin'...for a week anyways. That is why I believe your/our relationship with God should be very personal, sacred, and watch out for these selfish 'pretend' Christians.
