In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.
Organized belief in spirituality - that's what a religion is.
My biggest problem with organized religion is that God has been imagined as a human being with emotions. I feel if you let go of that, then it's possible to see God as a force, to connect to him or her spiritually.
Organised religion, organised anything, requires commitment and requires an engagement with something. A lot of the time, we don't want to commit.
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
I would say I have a complicated relationship with institutionalized religion.
Organized religion preaches Order and Love but spawns Chaos and Fury. Why?
A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
