Because we are working hard during the week and don't want to be made to feel guilty for not giving enough time to the church. I agree with the answer the Penelope gave on dating...I have to run my boss's life 9-5 Monday through Friday. I want someone else to make decisions when I'm not at work Can I answer the question about why career-minded people are not flocking back to the church?

Hm, I'm wondering why I havent' found this blog before... Why are fewer "career types" going to churches? Think creeds, dogmas, and doctrines. These are the doors keeping educated people out. They are also the doors keeping religions apart. Many people in organized religion worship these doors more than they wait upon the nudges of a creator-spirit thingie. Doctrines and dogmas are a barrier for educated people, because these people distinguish between a clean simple faith and complicated religion. "Leap of faith" is a polite term for shutting off your brain. Like Penelope, I too picked up on the capitalization of Church. Since I grew up catholic, to me, a capital-C Church is the RC church. To fundamentalist protestants, capital-C means fundamentalist churches. See? More doors. Great post, great interview. Hm, I’m wondering why I havent’ found this blog before…

Her's is one of the few blogs I star and come back to read later, just because I feel she has a great insight and I need time to think about it as I read it. Also, she may be the most real blogger on the internet - anybody that talks about their dating and divorce and marriage as openly as she does, she just oozes authenticity. I love her answer on the question about the church . . . Tony – I appreciate you interviewing Penelope, too.
