I agree, we should be helping others with the task that is simply "being human." We can to this! We have a lot to say re: it! I think "the way" is somewhere between the sort of Evangelical exaggeration illustrated above and the total avoidance of the issues by religious liberals. As always ... it is about balance. As an aside, I would much rather be given access to a one on one, real-time confession (ala Catholics) then the online version you showcase above. Eh ... Well said Chutney.
