Jesus didn't build a building (although he was a carpenter).
He didn't write books, or publish sermons for money (though he was probably more sure of his source).
He didn't collect money to forward his religion (as far as we know, it was only used to feed the poor, and his disciples).
He didn't pronounce judgment on any sinners (except the religious hypocrites).
He didn't proclaim allegiance to one country or flag (He called the king a fox).
He didn't follow (or trust) the central authority of the church (he said the buildings would fall, and he refused to answer the high priest's questions).
Need I go on? Surely you could fill in a few of your own. Organized religion has had thousands of years, but we have changed little. Perhaps it is time to give disorganized religion a chance.

Danielle, that was a nice rebuttal. Can you think of anything about which we agree?
