I respect your view AO (and I am not trying to flame you or anything, just discussing), but if you believe Scripture, I think you will admit that God founded an organized religion.

Flame... burn.... Made me chuckle anyway I know that you are just discussing and not flaming me As far as I am aware, when Christianity hit the shores of England, it could have taken two directions: it could have been the celtic way of God is with you always... or it could have taken the turn that it did - leaving us with Religion. I do admit that God's followers made it into an organised religion. I'm not sure that was the original inent though. I know what helps me to "connect"... and it isn't sitting in a room full of people all vacantly reciting the same prayer and standing and sitting at the correct time. If I could get 20 or 30 like minded people together, we could form an organisation

I'll have to put it to the committee at the AGM.
As CEO, I have two votes, so I'll see what I can do for you. (this is the part where you offer me a bribe).

Brian Houston - We Don't Need Religion
Well I see the people in the balconies on the streets and in their cars
the party going animals down in the backstreets and the bars saying
we don't need religionAnd I've been a timber jack, been a labourer been a shipyard man and a shirker
I've been with builders building houses and I heard a million McDonalds workers saying
We don't need religion
we don't need religion well we don't need religion but
we could use the love of GodAnd I've got false prophets on my TV telling me this union's doomed
while the spirit filled believers take up the floor space in the room saying
we don't need religion
So come all you preachers and you pastors all you priests nuns and scholars
come on and walk down the road without those robes
crucifixes and orange collars
You know we can't bleed religionNow is it Saturday is it Sunday the fact is I’m never sure
there’s a Sabbath in there some way why can't we try Yom Kippur you know
we don't need religionAnd while we're all so busy fighting using up God's precious time
there’s a thousand starving homeless people saying
buddy can you spare a dime
You know we can't eat religion
But we could use the love of God. -
