Religion can certainly be an important part of one's life, but I fear for those that would be deemed "overzealous." Or better yet, those in the clergy. As an example (although perhaps a tad extreme), look at Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert. Now perhaps all they cared about is the bottom line, but realistically...I'm sure at one point, they truly cared about serving God. But then Bakker fell to Jessica Hahn (and why not? She was a hottie...). Swaggert went down his path...now Jesse Jackson. I can only imagine the fine line those folks have had to walk.
