Christine, you are starting to understand. My point is that religion, as defined in these modern days, is a negative force in the world. Organized religion does not have God's plan for humankind as their primary goal, on the contrary, they uphold man's traditions as truth. Any man, woman, or group thereof, who do not have a personal relationship with God, but strive to know God through traditions created by mankind, or who twist the Word of God to fit or uphold their worldly agendas, are not Christian! So to your first question, NO! To your second question, yes religious people would say that religion is a positive force, but they would be mistaken. And to your third question, a resounding NO! Christine, I do not classify myself as religious, but you and many others, by reading my posts and observing my life (if you could) would more than likely say that I'm a religious nut! I can sum it up this way, religion is man seeking to know God, being a TRUE CHRISTIAN is knowing God personally! All glory to God, Tom
