those of us who still believe in God and church
Well I sure believe in God and Christ but Church is a man made thing set in place to control other men. Good Christian folks go to church but reading the Word and not chants and songs and passing the plate is what being a Christian is about not the traditions of man. Send your money to the Lord but they give you there address.

I am not, myself, a Christian man, but I agree that organized religion is not a good idea. As a Pagan, it is entirely my choice to practice my religion alone if I so choose and I like it that way. It is much easier to follow my heart when I don't have to hear what I feel are the influential words of the potentially twisted or misleading.
The problem, I think, with big religious worship today is that people have totally forgotten what religion is for! The purpose of religion is to teach us how to get along, how to love, and how to support each other, no matter who we are, where we are from, or what religion we choose. When your religion officially crosses the line of oppression and persecution against other people (most especially with deadly force), your religion should be abandoned forever. |

There has been war (religious) for a very long time. I know it will not end until the second advent. I find when I tell people I study alone and do not go to a church they think they need to save me. They save me by bringing me into their church
That is kind of like Amway meeting. Read the Book and pray alone and discuss in dept with the few not the many. Send your money to the Lord but they give you their address.
