Religion is a man-made effort to understand God...but it is not all bad. We shower daily as a religious activity. Why? Because if we don't we stink!
Perhaps the issue is not religion but rather "religiosity". This made-made effort is often based on works and not on Christ. Faith in Christ, may be religious, but it is Christ-centered.
Not sure what you mean by "They are trying to kill me." Please explain.
All I ask is if you're going to engage in this kind of hyperbolic conversation (and it can be appropriate) that you hold up your end of the discussion. You started it (the blog post) after all. Is that asking too much? Otherwise you look petulant and unapproachable, when I know you to be the exact opposite.

sometimes you just have to be patient and let the "wind" blow.

You make some pretty serious charges in these last several posts -- including that people are trying to kill you. And then refuse to explain?
Making accusations of that nature is absurd. But then declining to elaborate after making them? That's irresponsible.
What point are you hoping to make? I'm assuming you are trying to make a point and not just being obstinate.
What points do you seek answers, Mike?
I have just had some more pastoral attacks, that's all.
But then again, I ask for it, right?
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Great advice, Mike! You really do love me, don't you?
God help me, I do.
It takes all of God for many to tolerate me these days.
