Do we really need organized religion? What good does it do? Anyone know?

Please enlighten me.

"Organized" religion does as much good as it does harm. Check out missionaries, AKA Mother Teresa, Salvation Army and others too numerous to mention. The Big problem is that Power brokers also use O.R. for their own ends. My view is,
(1) GOD created us.
(2) Religion is the worship of GOD
(3) Man created "Organized Religion"
(4) You should notice that religion was alright until man started running it instead of doing it the way GOD wants.

Most people would not go for that. It is the same thing as ''Taxing'' GOD.

Well''
My first thought is go as a family and pound the *** out of those maggots, but why lower yourself to their level. Show the world just what judgmental hypocrites they really are. One screwed up pastor getting his sheep to do his bidding. No behavior like that is tolerated in any legitimate church. Target their members; show up at their weddings, funerals, church festivities and church. Make noise politely. Don''t forget the video cameras, as the video will be worth a thousand words. I don%u2019t advocate violence, but if someone showed up at my son%u2019s funeral like that I would bust him right in the kisser, take their signs and throw them in the trash. It crosses the line of simple respect. It is amazing the strength the family showed at the funeral. Morons like that make good honest Christians look like complete boneheads. It%u2019s sad as in every other group of people how a few idiots mess it up for the masses. The only way to get it to stop is to give them some of their own medicine. God bless that poor family who was laying their son and one of our countries heroes to rest. That honorable young man gave his all for God and country and anyone who would use his passing for political gain is not affiliated with any God, or honest organization our county believes in or values. This is a perfect example of what this young man and all our fallen heroes stand for: Freedom for All, even the creepy cults who hide behind legitimate organizations! SEMPER FI

it is fascist nazi terrorislam stupid,,,

non muslims of the world unite,,, fight against the tyranny of the fascist nazi terrorslam imperialist empire of the darkside,,,

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair''s bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

Our Prophet commanded us to fight the kaafirs when we are able and to attack them in their homelands and to give them three choices before we enter their lands: either they become Muslim and be like us, sharing our rights and duties; or they pay the jizyah (poll tax) and feel themselves subdued; or they fight, in which case their wealth, women, children and homes become permissible as booty for the Muslims.

You don''t see Buddhists doing this kind of insane, hurtful, stupid stuff.

And then these fierce fundies have the audacity to come up with this nonsense:

"Church members said they are motivated by the fear of God and their need to warn America about its moral decay, rather than a desire to hurt anyone."

"Fear of God"? Gimme a break. Come on now. We''re not living in Old Testament times. Grow up, people. Get your head out of your butt. They have a "need to warn America." Excuse me while I puke. I have a need to get you to dry up & blow away.

We''ll see what these picketers do if one of their sons joins the military & gets killed in Iraq. Stand outside his funeral & do the same thing to them. See how they''ll take it. Hold a sign saying, "It''s God''s will that your son died before his 22nd birthday."

Those communist insurgents that hide behind the bible and disgrace our American heroes need to be put in front of a block wall, in front of a firing squad and shot for high treason. This is the word from my husband the grunt soldier. A-men brother!!

My heart goes out to this, dad. Unbelievable, you were trying to lay your son to rest after he gave his all for his country and these wack jobs show up at the funeral. I would have flipped out, thank goodness he kept his cool. The church needs to know their place. Being at a funeral demonstrating, is not acceptable. I hope your lawsuit goes all the way.
