Yes, exactly - "Oh the riches Christ my Saviour has for me". The problem is not that Christianity is poor, but that Lee convinced us to stop seeking. Jesus said, "Seek and you will find" but Lee said that there was nothing there. Guess what - Lee was wrong, Jesus was right.

There is a lot of dreck in Christianity. But if you have patience, and seek, you'll be rewarded greatly. Don't give up the search. Teaching, fellowship, great music, edification and encouragement, enlightenment, are all available in the flock. But if you despise it as vain, and ignore it, spending your free time pooh-poohing it, guess what you'll get? Nothing. You'll spend the rest of your life with brother EM eating leftovers. Enjoy.
