I just do not in any way trust religion to... facilitate that relationship. Religion is "God is telling you...", whereas relationship is, "God is telling me." Subtle, but dramatically important difference.  |
This is exactly how I'd describe my relationship with God. I don't really believe that you have to be in a 'fixed' religious 'group' to have a relationship with him. I have my own unique relationship with him, and I think that's what people should ultimately look for.
