Jude I think you hit the nail right on the head. Your relationship with whatever God you believe in should be a personal one, gathering together with others of like mind should be a personal choice but not a necessity. It’s when people start grouping together money and power greed set in and then problems start to develop.

THANKYOU for the well explained article on “Organized Religion”
By far am I as literate as some of you,but after 72 y.,59 of which were as a Catholic,now considering myself “SPIRITUAL”
As I see it,LIVE and LET LIVE is my belief.
I make sure not to tresspass on someone else’s life ,liberty and property ,hoping for the same coutesy ?.
Most religions un-altered ,teach respect for our fellow man,,,until greed and desire to control others was imposed by leaders, then all hell broke loose and has been ever since Cain killed Abel !There is much that has caused dissention ever since,and few have tried to encourage civility to prevail,but it seems that the evil one had more influence and people /sheeple believe without question.
God of Creation designed all to harmonize for the ultimate goal,,
Man in his eternal ignorance thinks he can do better than God and has bottledneck just about every part of creation,up to total destruction of this planet if allowed…
The resolve ,if still possible for “Men of good will” to regain control and establish “Peace on Earth”
How to accomplish this is for the same to UNITE for the common purpose.

Wonderful post. Well done!

I actually came across this post as it’s extremely similar to something I wrote a short while back on the same topic ( http://paulitics.wordpress.com/2006/12/31/is-organized-religion-still-good-for-society/ ).

If you don’t mind, I’m going to post a link to this story in the comments section of my post. I still have lots of people reading my article and I feel that they would be well served to also take a look at yours.

Charles, I have been meaning to write about that same subject for quite a while now, but have been hesitant. Kudos for taking the risk.

I really enjoy your blog! Thank you.

That is what I am so hopeful about. I think the new findings on the brain will put a jumper in the computer and the problem will be completely bypassed. When we use the right brain we can see Eastern thought and understand women. I seem to see a different interpretation of the scriptures at this time. I see things like, he would that everyone would be save and the Quran, almost the same thing. It have the idea that God will get what he wants. Wouldn’t you think he would. Or how about this one, there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous the later to judgment. That could be his own judgment that he is wrong. The symbolism seems obvious from the rest of the bible. When it says that the earth will be burnt up and the elements exposed, in prophecy the earth is always the people and burnt up, purified. It goes on and on. Like it says in the last days no on will have to teach them about me, all will know and the implication was not referring to just to the saved from what I could tell.
In nine of thirteen bibles used by the Baptists the word hell has been take out of the Hebrew scriptures. It is obvious now that the Hebrew word meant grave. It is in the english dictionary as one definition also. Even more telling, besides quantum theory is that the right brain is everything that religions teach, mild, creative like the creator, loving, to pure to behold evil because it sheds light on it as ignorance and the right brain is just the opposite. That brain is almost totally subjective the opposite of objectivity, scientific. The left brain thinks in pictures. We see them in dreams. Pictures can get the big picture and sees incongruities putting, in short, all thought and humankind together harmoniously. All the philosophies have discovered part of the truth.
It would seem that the bible speaks on many levels to every kind of person, from where they are and their time in history. It is all coming out now so this is the time for the new scrolls to be opened. But nothing can be added to the scriptures so instead the whole bible, as seen from the right brain is a different book, speaking about the end of confusion. All are beginning to see differently and would hardly pass up using right brain technology and the happiness that comes from there and from the creator at least indirectly.
The New York Times hinted at some of this by saying that we have found out that we are like monkeys on the back of a tiger, the subconscious. It does all the work, they say, our job is almost just to listen. Hmm

Thanks for your comment Jon, I appreciate it.

I totally agree with you whether your Lord is Krsna, Yaweh, Buddah or whatever, they all lead to the same place in the end.

Take Care

I have been saying that forever The argument over whos God is greatest or whos beliefs are correct . Many religions are just that a business and really have nothing to do with honoring God or saving souls. These fanatics causing the problems today are basicaly saying my way or die . I think alot of people will agree with this article as I do . The true problems are the fanatics and their misinterpretation of the bible. Really all that needs to be done is to honor the Lord and follow the 10 commandments.
