But going to extremes or harming other people in the name of religion is wrong.

I pray all the time but not to the god of organized religion. Something always tells me it's a fishy and inaccurate proclamation and I've asked for signs and been given them. They do not confirm the tales. I'm not asking people to believe what I believe as I think it's personal to each person. I just don't think people should be selling salvation and a one way road to understanding. (((Hugs))). My friend says I've always been the most religious person she knows which is strange since I've never aligned myself to a religion for more than a week. I think she means spiritual and that I can agree with though I'm not sure I can quantify it.
