Water which is too pure has no fish.

People used to jokingly say "The Devil made me do it!". Though the saying has lost it's popularity the concept behind it lives on in most of American culture. In almost every church on every Sunday you hear someone preach about how weak humans are tempted by Satan and how they can avoid the consequences of going to Hell by giving their "sins" to Jesus. I suspect, the Sin and Repentance cycle is the main reason churches are still financially profitable. Sin is unavoidable. The main message of religion seems to be to avoid  all  experience.

Church News - Church of Universal Truth

By
NOTICE: To help facilitate better understanding and communication of our message, the Board of Trustees has elected to form the Church of Universal Truth. Although UBU Ministries is organized as a church, the name has caused some confusion with the public. UBU Ministries will continue to be an official arm of the church and at present no formal distinction will be made between the two. Henceforth UBU Ministries will operate under the direction, subscribe to the rules, beliefs, practices and conventions of Church of Universal Truth and the two will eventually operate as distinct functional divisions of the same body and  Parent Organization, Church of Universal Truth. Membership, general meetings and most services are transferred to the new Parent organization. Further functional distinctions are planned by the Board to further define specific services offered by the Church and the Ministry.. Such distinctions of function will be published in the official Church Operat...
