"They have pretty much destroyed the ability of thousands of good people to have faith in ANY sort of ;organized religion!"

What a stroke of genius.

I would have to agree with those sentiments.

Poodlehead- i also like to think of there being a `creator` rather than a `god`, as it doesn`t seem linked to religion, but rather to the wonderful creation that we have. I have experienced a good `spiritual ` type feeling when i`ve been up high on a mountain, or in a forest, or a deserted beach, it`s a feeling of oneness with everything, and it is very peaceful. I think this is where `God` is! Yaddayadda, i agree with what you say as well, the creator will let us know when he`s ready, in the meantime, we have to just do the best we can. I don`t class myself a `christian` tho`, sounds too religous! Would prefer to call myself a caring humanbeing.

I have had more than enough of religion for the time being. I have no desire, and would be very apprehensive, perhaps even fearful, of getting involved in any kind of organised worship again. I am leaning towards agnostic nowadays, having had my faith in a creator shatterred by the lies I was told by the wts.

Because to me all religions want you to do what 'they' say and only 'they' are right, it has always been used to control.

Religions make their adherents feel guilty and then offer them forgiveness...

Thanks, but No, Thanks.
