Also, to ask why Jesus did NOT say certain things is argumentative. I mean, Jesus did NOT say "go and write a bunch of books and bind them into a Bible." Yet, not only did we do just that, but all Christian religions rely heavily, if not exclusively on that Bible. I can't refute or affirm things Jesus did NOT say, only what He did, as my faith has interpreted it over the past 2000+ years.

This is actually a really good point. As is Dee's that it is faith and not exactly logical, so very hard to argue it one way or the other. Trust me, I try all the time with my husband who loves my minister, agrees with the stance of my chruch, agrees that Jesus was a cool dude, but just can't agree with the "exclusionist attitude" of Christianity - or most organized religion actually.
And as for my graceful state - don't think you're getting my butt into a confessional! My sins are between me and God, thank you very much! Crazy Catholics...
