SO WHAT? It better welcome more than just me... and it better start doing so actively.• So many Americans claim no religion at all (15%, up from 8% in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists. In a nation that has long been mostly Christian, "the challenge to Christianity … does not come from other religions but from a rejection of all forms of organized religion," the report concludes.
Can we afford to keep arguing among ourselves as organized religion dies?

Yes, organized religion causes hatred, destruction and death to innocent people over idiotic fairy tales
ReplyDeleteColton, is it really organized religion that causes the problems you mentioned or is it people? I have seen many munks, nuns, priests, and pastors that have never caused HATRED. I think that you have a very limited understanding on what "organized religion" is. I am not involved in any organized religion at all, but I do not like you attacking anyone who desires to do only good. Please know of what you speak before you open your mouth.......
ReplyDeleteColton,
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll read my blog from today.
This country is mired in blame when we need solutions that will bring people together.
So, you have identified the problem. What is the solution? It seems to me that you and others like you seem to say that orgnaized religion should just go away.
Unfortunately it is the organized religion that gets the big picture of what religion should and wants to live into that future that is struggling.
The religions that want to stay in that ignominous past are growing. They are not going away.
Some of us are trying to build the religion based on it's true meaning. That may be for you. But for those who want to rescue religion from fundamentalism... please come and join us!
