And here is as perfect example of why I don't belong to an organized religion.
According to this statement if I don't belong to an organized religion then I am not a "Believer". Unfortunately too many religious institutions believe this for some reason. Sorry, once again you don't get to make that judgment. I'll defer to the almighty for that. A church is just that "a church" and that doesn't mean everyone who enters it a christian. A church just like any other group of people is a microcosm of society. You have good people and bad people. I can worship, praise, thank, ask guidance from the almighty from anywhere.
I have absolutely have no problem with people who like organized religion as if that is what it takes for them to fulfill their needs. I'm a loner by nature and don't need to belong to a group to feel good about myself personally. Not saying that is what organized religion is but rather that's my personality. What I have a problem with is those individuals that push the "if you don't go to church, if you don't give enough to the church or of you don't believe what I believe you are going to hell" on me.
