You did use the example of churches first, you know.
But I did misread your original post.
You said, "Religion doesn't promise only personal happiness." I missed the only.
It is true that happiness is not their only lesson. But I still think personal happiness is the main draw of most, if not all, religions.
Most promise pie in the sky in one form or another.
Even those that don't, promise the fulfillment of knowing that you are doing the right thing. That, too, is a form of happiness. Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
