organized religion requires one main thing. MONEY. just look at the vatican. however, jesus was a real good guy who, i think, has been exploited for his good deeds. being spiritual costs nothing. you think jesus had someone telling him what to believe in? no he just did it, and he was an outcast in his time.

that's why I pay my tithings to the homeless man. Or The child trying to go to a basketball tournament, etc... Because The world is the church not just
a structure. The pope and I are not on good terms. As a matter of fact I know I shouldn't get like this, but he flusters me. The way people flock to him It's eerie. They're serving a graven image/false god all at the same time, and he's cool with playing god.
