Traditions of men?
Sometimes reality is so strange that there's not much you can say.

Incidentally why is it a church and not say a Rotary Club at that point. Anywho.

Here, we believe you achieve salvation by doing social justice. Out in the world. And we have people from all backgrounds. Buddhists.”
