I worship and honor God in private and without confusion of interpreters. I also avoid the political BS that religions seem to get themselves intertwined with. I feel that is out of their job description.

My mother-in-law professes the same thing, while also claiming to be a Christian.

My question to you: How do you know who God is? Who told you that there is a God? How do you know (a) how to communicate with God, and (b) whether or not God wishes to hear from you?

I'm not trying to disparage your views at all, please don't be insulted by these questions in the least. I _am_ pointing out to you, though, that your beliefs would still qualify as being "a religion," whether or not you wish for them to be.

Agreed! I had early religious training in the Protestant faith. (Methodist actually)

I tried other faiths and churches in my lifetime and always ended up pissed at something. A little voice (I hear voices!LOL!)said to me one day that I did not need to attend a church to serve God. That is it in a nutshell. I do what I can to help people find comfort in their lives and help the needy when I can but it is all done by me and not a group thing.

I suppose you could call me a loner. Jesus inferred somewhere that the church could be a mutiple of one.
