>>not organized religion

All religion is organized.. Even yours.. Unless you stay home, pray by yourself, and follow your own organization of scripture, you participate in organized religion.

Even your theology is organized and systemized...

I'm glad to hear that! I always thought my theology was scattered and undetermined because I am still learning.
By the way, I don't attend church, listen to preachers on the radio or refer to certain web sites for lessons. I come across a situation, or have a question, then seek the answer, generally by doing a net word search, then reading the relevant chapters. I do pray alone, except when with Christian friends and usually it is the last thing we do before we part. I have several different bibles, so my theology is not denominational, and I compare verses in different bibles when I find contradictions. Whenever something is asserted AS FACT, I research it and do come up with different answers and try to just let the holy spirit guide me, rather than political or other factors. People impart different lessons from scripture. I notice alot of people tend to manifest the teachings in judgement of others, but I feel the bible is intended to make the reader examine themselves rather than to use scripture as a bludgeon against people who have differences with them.
