It may engulf, enmesh truth, but the organized religion itself is not true. Therefore, organized religion is false, it separates man from man. You are a Muslim, I am a Hindu, another is a Christian or a Buddhist - and we are wrangling, butchering each other.

Power. That is the ultimate truth of all hierarchical structures.

Yes, I think there is some truth in every organized religion, but there is also a lot that is ridiculous, and primitive. You are right about the fact that religion tends to cause a separation mindset, and people who think that their way of believing is the only right way, cause so much harm to this world, in ways that they are not likely to even be aware of.

I'm a Christian and I don't plan on fighting anybody. Why don't people see the real truth in that love is peace and we can all live in harmony? It's not the teachings of religion that are at fault, it's the zealots and idiots who think they are above the teachings who fight and kill.

Truth... they give you somewhat of a moral conduct to live by. But I in no way think that people need religion as their source of morals. Organized religion is bad, it sets down rules for what people should believe spiritually, and it causes fighting.

The only truth of organized religion is they are organizing and training their followers to enlist more believers .More followers means more cash in the bank .Money is the REAL GOD !!!!!

The Spirit of God is all I concern myself with.spiritually. my relationship is very close with it. if I told you how close and how the spirit talks with me. and guides me. you wouldn't believe me so I wont tell you. I have witnessed many true and mighty miracles.supernatural ones.you have to experience the Spirit of God for yourself. it is a very real force . I love and appreciate God and the Spirit of God very much tho I have suffered much more then most .Bad actions or iron shackles and good actions or golden chains. the road to God realization is a narrow one. I wish for you the very best on your spiritual journey.

It is like a shade-giving tree that drops fruit on you. You can toss it, you can stand in the sun/rain or you can use it. Its up to you.

None. But one would hope that people would pick up on the parts that tell you to treat others decently but they don't all seem to.

There are two types of bullies in this world, those who do it overtly and those who do it covertly (i.e. organized religion)
