You make some very interesting points. It is also my desire to have a personal relationship with god, outside of organized religion.
The interesting concept is this, what do you think would happen if we dropped organized religion tomorrow?
There will always be people who seek the fellowship of others who believe similarly to themselves. That is human nature. There are also always going to be intelligent, insightful, charismatic people who will draw others to their own ideals. I think organized religion would spring back up quicker than you could blink an eye. That said, I dont think organized religion is the problem, but the intolerance of some who follow it. The key is to eradicate intolerance and hatred.

How can we do that? I dont really know. I think one way is through increased communiction, and knowledge of othere peoples cultures and viewpoints. The world wide web, can actually be a great vehicle for this. There are assuredly other ways to wipe out intolerance and hatred. Does anyone out there care to contribute any of their ideas on how to do this?
