Truth is, a person can quit any religious organization just as one can quit a political party...

The body of Christ is an organism, not an organization. As such, the organization of the RCC cannot leave a mark of any kind on the soul. The soul belongs to God, not any church.

—The soul belongs to God, not any church.—

I went to my first church for 18 years. When I left it it felt almost like I had left God. Almost. :-)

Since then I’ve belonged to 6 other churches and tried, for several weeks, three others. One thing I’ve learned is that most churches have something to offer and I have something to offer them. But some are a better “fit”. And we’ve been members of AG, Christian, “Community” and now, finally, Baptist. I was nervous about it at first, but the baptists in this church, at least, are not at all like all the bad stuff I heard about Baptists. ;-)

In fact, we love the place. They have an engaging bible study and allow all sorts of reasonable questions without calling you a heretic. And they do truly care about each other. That is a biggie for me.

If we were to move, we’d go to a different church. Heck, it could turn out to be foursquare for all I know...
