I do think that organized religion is one of the biggest crocks in the history of crocks. Some people love their religion more than they love the people for whom the religion was given. And they sometimes end up hurting people with the religion that was given for people, and then they wonder why people don’t want to get involved in their religion. It’s hard to blame anyone for not wanting to be part of an often disputatious and disingenuous group.
One can still remain committed to Jesus though, while stepping away from what was described above. Striving to follow Jesus’ teachings can still be central to ones life. Jesus is way more important than the ‘religion’ of Christianity and always will be...no matter what the religion of Christianity is, has been, or might become.

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
