ATF, good wording here - "the "package" that is presented as the practice of the faith is also a big problem". Good insight nicely put. For some folks, buying the package as is without any changes or adaptations is the only way to heaven, and obeying the minutiae of church laws is more important than living the Gospel. Jesus had the same problem with the temple in his day. For Jesus the kingdom of God is a way of living everyday wherever we are. That is a lot harder than holding on to the package.  Thanks.
