Now7ik:
I am glad that you have already found Ms. Rice. She is a gem. I am thankful for all these master's of the written word.
Regarding religion; it was explained to me this way:
"Religion is the organized structure that undermines all of faith, hope and love. The Word is the true message of God and Jesus. In The Word we find the manifestation of faith, hope and love."
It is my opinion that "religion" is a cult to blind the believer and enslave the faithful, binding them to worship through repetition and intolerance. I believe that true faith is based in the message Jesus came to share: Love God with all your heart, soul and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus clearly identified these as the greatest of all commandments.
Our one infinite Creator has corroborated Jesus' instruction: Love is always the answer.
Yours in love and light...
