Dear Sherri,

Well, organized religion seems to limit God just by assuming that their outlook on things is the only valid one and that we should follow certain rituals and believe in certain dogmas in order to please God. Another limiting factor about organized religion that always bothered me is that it tends to look down on the members of all other religions and treating them condescendingly as "heathens" that need to be converted.

This, unfortunately, is very true for Christianity where I am originally coming from (Lutheran Protestant) and these are some of the main reasons why I quit. Admittedly, some of Christianity's basic teachings still resonate with me today, especially the ones that deal with common sense and respect towards self and others. But then, you will find the same teachings to be the foundation of any major religion, just worded differently and coming in a different package.

For now, I don't feel like exchanging one label for a different one by adopting a new pile of rituals and dogmas for the ones I have left behind.

Some ramblings + musings
from Karin

I am curious to what religion people on this list started out with??
Any religion seems to "limit God", don't you think?
