Born and raised a Catholic. Confirmed etc.
I currently still believe in God, but I do not believe in organized religion. Organized religion is a fancy word for a Cult. Many people associate the word Cult with something negative and dangerous, but that is not the real definition of the word. A Cult is:
a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
This is what i believe. If god wanted me to be in organized religion I would currently be there. I Believe in what I believe and that is all that I need to know.
I realized this in Grade 11 at a Catholic High School during religion class. I asked the teacher how the Catholic Church and Organization is not in some way a Cult. He could not come back with any response that I could not counter and eventually kicked me out of class for it.
