That being said, I enjoyed this post and suspect that I will continue to enjoy your posts on this blog. I trust you to provide an intelligent look at snippets of theology (which I find interesting) without all the crazy-people rhetoric (which I don't).<BR/><BR/>Despite having attended Catholic schools for twelve years, the only answer I ever heard in response to "Why did Jesus have to die?" was "So we could get into Heaven."
