"Religion" is just man's power and control over others. It's a rigid set of rules with no reasons except "god said" spoken by the man who wants to control you.

Christians, I think, are going to be in for a really rude awakening when the pendulum swings. While we won't forget the progressive churches who were there doing the "red letter" work (we're not like magas, after all), we also won't forget the evangelicals and the NAR and the 7 Mountains movement and Dominionism and Charismatics, and the Proft and prophecy churches. IOW, the charlatans. They may actually find out what it means to be the persecuted people they always claim they are now. And I, for one, say so mote it be that love will be returned by love, and justice to hatred.

I have no use for religion. I see it now, and have for a long time seen it as a phony construct made by kings and dictators and wannabe's for their own wealth and power. REAL people who are spiritual... whether or not they're associated with any church, have morals and ethics that go far beyond those dictator's rules. And you don't have to be religious or spiritual to have moral and ethics. You just have to be human to be humane.
