but that was then and this is now .... organized religion refuses to move forward with the progression of humanity. They represent bigotry, close mindedness and authorization control. If one really thinks about it, people today are really responding to the true teachings of love and acceptance, found in the heart, of all humans. If a religion fails to relinquish its perverse control of the human heart, then it will be doomed. When a religion says that you should deny your child (or have an honor killing) because they are gay or pregnant out of wedlock, most modern humans think this is wrong. Also, most humans now have a skeptical view of anyone who claims that they know what god wants ... spirituality is personal and every organized religion does not get this fact.
