I try to avoid having a religion. I do strive to have a relationship with a certain Jewish carpenter who only spoke and taught universal truths.
And I have found life to be more fulfilling when I try to handle situations in accordance with his teachings. What the Army stamped on my dog tags; "Prot-non-denom", would be accurate.

YOu try to avoid religion?

So, I guess you don't want to be saved then.

The first act of religion - and religion means "to bind back together" - was the Cross. If you refuse to engage in religion, that means you refuse the Cross. How do you figure you are associating with Jesus that way?
