I have my own personal (more of a spiritual hippie-like) connection with God. Dont need anyone to tell me how or when to communicate with him....
Its a very strong (and personal) connection...thats why I take the gamble....
There are hundreds of organized religions all claiming to be right....telling me that I am wrong (or even a bad person).....why should I gamble on one of them? What if its wrong and I end up with Lucifer for a room mate?
I would say dont believe what anyone says.. but if you have that connection with God.. then read what He has written and decide for yourself... Im sure if you are that tight then He would be delighted for you to read His word.. start with John or Romans possibly..
