Yeah, I'm totally into non-organized religion. Spiritual enlightenment is a personal quest. I don't mind that people want to be spiritual, it just seems when they do it in groups that the end up doing it wrong (IMO). Deferring to your God seems to be highly subjective and again, personal. Since I don't believe in something like the Christian God, I'm not inclined to accept judgements from people that defer to Him. I'd much rather trust people's common sense than their Gods. Unfortunately, it's hard to get one without the other. People always talk about Nazism. What they did was embrace a God (granted a very weird and Teutonic version of it) that most of us wouldn't be very happy with. I also hear that the "average German" wasn't a Nazi. I'm not sure that a God that tolerates concentration camps while burning the Yule Log is my idea of a moral God. Since I don't believe in absolute truth or morality (it is all situational) I can't prescribe behaviors that are moral in a vacuum. It's okay to eat people when adrift at sea. Not okay when on vacation on a cruise ship, though. The only reason I can say this is that I wouldn't want to be on the spit, so let's not put any "body" on the spit.
