Why do we need organized Religion?
The point I am trying to get through is all of this was done by human beings, NOT GOD! Therefore, prone to error or opinion of the copiers or the scroll writers. It takes nothing to make an "and" into an "or" and destroy the original intent of the writing. You all have seen the nonsense that comes out in all media, newspapers, news sources, social media etc., enough to make an intelligent man very doubtful of all written sources. Then if you sit through enough sermons like I have you will notice various non-sequential errors in the pastors so called teaching with intent or not, it can throw the original intent into the scrap pile. Then put together what the pastor or priest has experienced in life, you suddenly question how does this guy know, he has not experienced life like you or me? I realize one needs Faith to put all this together in a meaningful life, but you do not need some other fool telling you how to live. All 10 commandments are built into us at birth, and it becomes our responsibility to make sure we don't go destroy them with bad behavior. Eh! Finally - GOD is not somewhere in the Sky looking down on you judging your bad behavior, GOD IS inside you, instructing your every move. If you screw up, GOD will correct you. That's Life...
