Well Said!

Yesterday, while listening to the Neal Bortz radio show, I heard a listener sum up my own thoughts on religion so concisely it that I was momentarily "stunned". He simply said that so many "people tried to make religion their God, instead of making God their religion". With those few words, he described my feelings exactly.

Earlier in this blog, I described a neighbor's attempt to save the world. But, in those several paragraphs, I failed to put it as succinctly as that listener did in several words. My problem with organized religion has always been the ceremonies and trappings. Why not put all that energy and resource into worshipping God, instead of "building" a church? I may be wrong, but that's the way I see it.
