Malarkey, more malarkey, and a couple pounds of BS.

I certainly reject (and mostly despise) organized religion. I find organized religion to be full of zealots, hypocrites, and other unlikable types with ulterior motives. Organized religion today is big business.

I do believe in God. I do have respect for the belief of others. I respect their right to believe however they want. But, personally, I want no part of organized religion.

Now don't tell me "it ain't possible" for if you do, then you are not respecting my beliefs.

When one believes in God, one does not "reject" organized religion. One has respect for the beliefs of others. Do unto others.

A personal rejection of organized religion need not automatically entail disrespect for anyone else's decision to accept or reject.

The notion that respect for the beliefs of others is a natural result of religious belief is possibly the LOL of the century. Have you read any history at all?

Enough. I'm going off to paddle my boat for a few days. Have fun, y'all...
