I'm sorry, but I just don't see this.

I think the Yeag's original post was very interesting and has quite a bit of validity.

IMO spirituality and organized religion have the same relationship as ethics and government: You can be spiritual or ethical without being part of an organized religion, or governed by anyone.

The flip side is that an organized religion can lose sight of its deeper spirituality just as a government can lose its ethics.

I've never been a great fan of organized religions, especially those with a history of fleecing their flocks. The idea of the tithe sickens me.
