Ok people, explain this to me.........?

Question

why is religion "organized" so to speak? I noticed that a religion that is considered an "organized reiligion" cause the most trouble. Too many "Christians" with soooo many denominations all say the same thing and also tell you that God can hear you no matter where you are but yet I have noticed that if you have not "labeled" yourself as one of their "fraternities" you are looked down upon or ostricized.
Ok christians don't get your panties in a wad, I am making a statement pertaining to all "organized religions" Islam, Jews, ect. All have their own little labels for one belief system and the results are the same.
I have never noticed this with pagans or wiccans and also have noticed that even Scietologists require church appearance as well as Cabal (with a % that must be tithed) ect.
I refuse to be a sheeple and baaaah in the name of orginazed religion. Why is it mandatory? It seems to me that Organized religions are doing what THEIR persecutors did thousands of years ago.

Let us all Baaahhhh in the name of our deity. ( who ever that may be)

Answer 1

NOOOO! No baaaaing from me!
It is sad that some people become so indoctrinated that they loose the ability to think for themselves.
I much prefer my pagan ways, and have become quite accustomed to thinking for myself.

Answer 2

First of all people have to have faith in that certain Religion right
And with That faith they try to give 100% of their mind, body and soul right
Now Religion is created to put Fear in people's minds, for control
With that fear comes a labels
If you don't have a label who are you ?
Society lives and feeds on labels like black, white, fat, or thin
Which is all driven by EGO as the ego does not like change
And when were these Religions put together like how many hundreds of years ago ?
If they have not worked in all this time, and people are waking up however very slowly
Spiritual awakenings are happening as we are on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius

There is an old say
Once burnt, twice as shy
A lot of people are being burnt

Some things to contemplate, related or semi-related to your question.

Many say, "My concern is to live a good life. I am against formal or organized religion."

Can you speak without using a language, or be taught without knowing one? Can you, then, be religious without expressing it in a particular way?

Others say, "In religion sincerity is all that matters. If you live up to your religion, whatever it is, that is enough."

I religiously believe that sincerity is not enough. Does my sincerity make me right?

Some say, "There are as many ways to God as there are ways of solving a problem in arithmetic. We are all seeking the same thing. All roads lead to Rome."

There are different ways of adding. But is there more than one true sum? Does 2 plus 2 sometimes equal 5? Are some circles really square? (The churches radically disagree both on means and ends.) Anciently all roads led to Rome. The same roads led away from Rome. Once there, whatever Caesar's power, you could not enter the Imperial Palace without going up the steps and through the door, could you?

Today, again, all roads lead to Rome. There the Ecumenical Council (including authorities within the same Churches) disagree on every issue basic to Christianity. Could Christ solve all this simply by appearing before the Council? "Verily, verily I say unto you. Everything you say is true. My joy is full in your disagreement (except those who think I should have joy in your agreement). None of you are mistaken. I bless you for moving in all directions at once. All that you say about my nature, my will, my power, and my authority, and all the opposites, are correct. Your only mistake is meeting together to discuss these things as if the truth is one. Now dismiss the Council. My peace be with you,"

Is that the solution?


And others believe, "God is a mystery. The finite cannot know the infinite. Man cannot comprehend God."

Has God revealed to you that God cannot reveal more of Himself? Then you depend on the word of others? Is it wise to study those who have failed to find Him, and ignore those who have claimed He has revealed Himself?

Some say, "Church-goers bother me. Too many hypocrites, too many people saying one thing and doing another.

Millions make a mockery of marriage, home and family. Does that lead you to prize your own less? Or more? Are we to refuse the banquet because others only pretend to swallow it?


"But the God I believe in won't condemn a man whose heart is right and who does what he thinks is right," many say.

God cannot justly condemn the ignorant. But can He justly save him until he knows the truth both in heart and head?

Answer 4

well i think religion was used to explain things that were happenening at the time when the religion was first created and it was also you to instill fear into ppl to get them to do things like donate money to a church or to someone and its used like a threat at times like heres an example "if you dont believe in god, go to church every sunday and any other times, give the church your money, vote for these ppl bc they are christians too you will go to hell and be tortured for eternity but if u do do all of those things you will go to heaven with jesus and god"

Answer 5

Religion became and remains organized because of that age old human desire to control and profit from others.

In virtually any organization, the people at the top profit from the labors of the people at the bottom.

Answer 6

God is every where and the only way to salvation is through Christ.

There for you don't need religion. you can't get to Jesus through a priest, you don't need to go to church because god is everywhere.
