Father, I do believe that given the opportunity someone is better off being a committed Orthodox than a committed heterodox, but in reality Orthodoxy has not been able, for reasons that are beyond the scope of this discussion, to reach the daily lives of the majority of the people even in countries where it has a practical monopoly (at least that's what people respond in Gallup polls). So as the lesser of two imperfect solutions, I do believe that a believer in our Lord Jesus (even if heterodox) pleases God more than an atheist and there lies the value of heterodox denominations who bring the message of our Lord to the people

We actually ran 'round and 'round that particular concept in the "Russia and Evangelical Missionaries" thread, especially in the latter parts of the discussion. You might want to blip over and check that thread out (turn up the A.C. first; I think it got a little hot at times).

There may have been another thread where we beat on that topic, but if so I can't remember it offhand.
