Response: Not Religious???

In response to Dania Guadalupe's post "Is There Something Wrong Here?" (March 3, 2012):

I can't say that I quite understand how this chap can say that he hates religion.  It seems quite, quite clear that his assertions about Jesus fall under the category of religion - in fact, he even mentions his belief that various supernatural happenings involved Jesus literally occurred.  It seems to me that his objection is not against religion, but rather against some particular religious denomination, or perhaps against organised religion in general.  Religion, however, does not have to be organised, and his freestyle sort of belief in Jesus does fit the description of religion rather nicely.

  1. I totally agree. I feel that he is involved with religion, but he disapproves on certain habits and rules. I myself do not dislike my religion, but I don't always agree with rules and actions of some churches -I feel this is natural though. But I must say I do agree with some of his points. The "freestyle sort of belief" is very interesting, and quite intriguing I think. What I mainly like is that he actually tried to point out some faults of the churches and how everyone is human and susceptible to weakness.
