Why should I let other people, organizations and -things- to be between
me and God? If I pray and receive insights directly, do I need a church?
Do I need a Bible? If in fact the questions of religion and faith are
supremely important, why should I look to anything filtered through
another human being? If my soul is at stake, why not seek inspiration
and communion -directly- with the higher power? Going to churches I
didn't build, hearing sermons I didn't write, reading scripture I didn't
translate, etc. All of that risks my misunderstanding of God's purpose for
myself. If my house is in order, what do I need for anything more than
my own connection to God? Indeed, how can anyone claim to know
what's right for my soul but God?
It seems to me that communion and fellowship come from human, social urges and have nothing to with my relationship to God. None of you will be there with me when I face my death, so why should I let anyone influence my faith?
