Question:

Can you believe in God but not in organized religion?
Every religion can't be right but they can all be wrong.



:yesnod:  absolutely.

I think I've said it before, but I to think that "religion"  is the biggest downfall of "the church" (believers in Christ)  we actually had this debate in our college classes' bible study last week.  Needless to say, I was in the minority for most of it :greengrin: 

I go to a Baptist church right now, but I am a member by default.  (when we moved here, my parents joined)  To join our church, you have to sign a membership form.  Included in this form are some things that I don't believe are Biblical.  I'm glad I didn't have to sign anything at the time, and if I was asked to now, I wouldn't sign it.  I don't have anything against joining a church, because I believe that it encourages accountability, but I won't sign anything that isn't spelled out in the Bible.  Our church has some great people, and some great ideas, but it has its share of hypocrites, and "holier than thou" people.  People that are there for the image, for the "religion"  rather than the "relationship"
:usa: Its better to die on your feet than live on your knees :usa:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."
