Or maybe you find yourself “losing your religion" just like that classic R.E.M. song says. "I cant Live... with or without you" might perfectly describe your relationship with the institutional church...

We are a group dedicated to furthering our own spiritual and philosophical wisdom through productive and open discussions.
