Just as it is my choice to NOT believe in ANY "Organised Religion" that requires you to KILL AT all.

Of course. It's your life and you should be able to decide for yourself what to believe in, just like everyone else.

I'm in the same boat. I am just a spiritual person who believes in the one True God. I believe that there are pieces of each religion that have the right message, but there are pieces of each religion that have diverged from the right message.
We don't need labels of a specific religion to have belief in God.
My belief is that God doesn't care which religion you are, just that you have faith in Him.

Are you a pacifist? Have you ever killed or wanted to kill? Have you ever hit someone with malicious intent? Have you ever abused someone in anyway?
Spiritualnous is a capability we possess...so yes, you can choose not to use that capability...but no, it does not have to have anything to do with God or with any religious belief or Christian denomination. In fact, it has nothing to do with those things UNLESS you choose for it to.

i agree, the thing is though there are people out there that were raised to believe in their religion in a fanatic way, to tell them what they believe and doing is wrong, would be like saying Jesus never raised from the dead, there no such thing as aliens, etc...etc... it only matters and makes sense to those that believe in it, theres no changing it .....ack......just some mumbojumbo.....

You got that right. You...and I have a constitutional right to the FREEDOM of religion.

Everything is your choice (isn't that the whole idea behind "Free Will"?
