Well, stripping off all the verbal ornamentation you’ve furnished here, I’m sure that denominational affiliation does have a lot to do with this waning of faith. People are loathe to walk out of a congregation that’s headed hellward, out of inertia. It’s not the ONLY stumbling block. But it is one.
I think, except for gnatty details (again I don’t go for big man-written, railing screeds when the bible will do) we agree rather well in principle...
>>denominational affiliation
It’s more than denominational affiliation, it’s the patterned recycling of religious mythology among civilizations.
But the truth of that is something for you to render with your own eyes and free, honest, mind.
