I believe that people do need spirituality. It's important to believe in something greater than oneself.

Organized religions are attempts to provide a path to achieving that spirituality. Unfortunately they do it by providing a set of societal rules and procedures to follow making them handy frameworks for controlling populations. Potentates have been using that vehicle for thousands of years with great success (both good and bad).

The essential flaw though of all organized religions is the fact that they are trying to describe a concept that is not and may never be within mans ability to understand.

God is not definable, he cannot be categorized or dissected and that can be maddening for those who believe they need a rule book to follow in order to achieve the spirituality they so desperately desire.
