too much of the same song kinda makes me remember why I didn't want to join the church that said only their bunch would get in the pearly gates on judgement day.

Be a good example is the best policy. You can catch more flies with...

if you wanna catch flies.

Plus the article quoted above. No one has ever asked me what I ate...so they missed me for sure in those statistics. Helene and Sweetie didn't get asked either...I will check with the grandkids.
I don't think comparing food science with religion is very valid or worthwhile.
For one thing it's a huge waste of time to argue religion because it's based on faith, not scientific data. Science would suffer if there were not any questioning. How would it be if one scientist said to another, "okay, whatever you believe is okay with me"? It's more likely that one will try to duplicate the experiment or study of the other to see if it really proves to be accurate. That's why so many scientific studies are done over and over again.

On this thread, questioning is important to find out if what another person is saying is accurate, scientificly based, opinion, or faith based?
