Universal Truth eliminated religion from Spirituality a long time ago............................

I think we should question all authority. Unquestioned authority becomes abusive.

I have tried to explain the difference between people of faith and religious people many times. I finally gave up and just excepted the label. Then you come alone and attack that position. To me religion is a set of rules and regulation that a person follows. They could be (to a Catholic) a certain time ti say their haul Mary's. To a monk how long to go without speaking. To a dock worker how to unload a ship. To people of faith our authority is only the Bible. We don't expect everyone to except that but when asked what we believe that is where we turn to explain our doctrine. To a Christian Universal Truth is found ONLY in Jesus Christ... Jim

Questioning religion is against the very nature of religion.

Question everything until you have evidence. Be willing to re-work existing theories in light of new evidence. Or..
just make it all up like religion does. Oh look I just saw a tooth fairy, Hallejulah!

"religion" has no authority. God has all authority.

The Bible, God's Word, is my authority - not priests or preachers. check out www.3abn.org
