The way I think about it is, if God created the earth, and placed us all together - then why shouldn't we try to meet the measure of our creation together as a team?
That's a statement I like the sound of, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by it. Care to elaborate?
Organised religion is seen as full of dogma and inefficiencies, but people organising themselves for the benefit of all within the organisation might be the primary reason we are all together sharing the this earthly experience - to progress together - to help each other. Spiritually as solely personal internal pursuit may conflict with the reality we are sharing a common earthly experience, born into families and tribes that we are emotionally/spiritually bonded to.
