Exactly.  I  respect the Amish because they keep their belief to
themselves 
and they essentially wor****p 24/7.  Parents allow children some 
experimentation with the world so that when a child makes HIS or HER 
DECISION to join the church he or she will have some knowledge about what
is 
being rejected in the member****p commitment.

Christians remind me of the line from a Jimmy Buffet song "There is a fine

line between Saturday night and Sunday Morning."  And they, including a 
number who have posted in this newsgroup, prefer to show everybody how
much 
they believe:

Matthew 6:5  And when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites, for they
love 
to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by

others. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full


Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray
to 
your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in 
secret, will reward you.



How wonderful if all Christians would follow this guidance from the holy 
book they prefer to cite so often.
