    IMHO....it all needs to go. Its influencing everything in this world every and anywhere. From the Saudies, to the people in Irag, Iran and anywhere else our sons will need to be sent.

    Our current President claims he is influenced along with the former Prime Minister of England by religious beliefs.

    There is the huge Evangelical influence that got Bush and the mess he made who put them in to begin with.

    We Have the JW's causing absolute havic in anyone's lives connected with this stupidity.

    It goes on and on and on. The list is endless.

    I would love to see religion take a back seat once and for all!!!

    How about you?

    Yep, every teeny, tiny bit could get tossed into a huge dumpster and it would only be a MAJOR improvement at worst.

    I think that the best way to lessen the influence of organized religion is to educate people and hold religious ideas up to scrutiny.

    Instead of government trying to simply get rid of it, they can start to respect the separation of church and state that is so critical to a progressive society.

    You won't find a building or buildings that are His "church".

    You won't find a "labeled organization" that are His "church".

    Rather, He calls and recognizes those who, as individuals throughout the earth, make up, collectively, His church.

    True Christianity is organized by God Himself, that is the only "organized religion" that will survive forever.

    BA- All other "organized religions" be damned.

    That doesn't sound bad, Brother Apostate.

    Do these "called" ones associate with organized religions?

    They associate with all of their neighbors.

    Yes, I understand that, Brother A.

    But are they members of the same organized religions that you said should be damned?

    That is up to God, not BA, to judge.

    PS- there is a semantic difference between "should be damned" and "be damned", FYI.
