Good question. I find it easy to revere and know nothing about worship.
I don't know anybody who worships. I don't even know what that means.
Vestal
Virgins worships, I am told. Historians talk a lot about worship. My
understanding of Jesus is along the lines of that he certainly didn't want
to be worshiped, he wanted to be listened to. I've heard Pastor's speak on
"What would Jesus do?" -- :-) I wonder...If Jesus Returns, and is handed a
copy of, say, Time Magazine, and a list of classes offered at Bob Jones
University...would he laugh...or cry? (This, of course, on the reasonable
assumption that he actually existed.)
