When I'm asked what CHURCH I attend I remind those that ask of the OLD 1972 TOM T. HALL song... "Me and Jesus Got Our Own Thing Going"
Exactly! My mother used to tell us kids growing up, that we didn't have to go to confession to ask God to forgive us our sins. We could speak to God ourselves. There is no need for a middle-man, if you're sincere enough. God knows if you are truly sorry for your trespasses. He doesn't need a front-man to interpret it for him.
