Heh, I like the analogy. Though, if I may add to it in a different fashion, quite a few people end up using it primarily to tell others where to park their cars.

I am very happily surprised that I can agree with you regarding everything you have said. The Bible has many beautiful passages on morality, my favorite being the "Sermon on the Mount." I don't consider myself to be a Christian by any means at all, but I find myself reading that section of Matthew every single day.
