To Lydia,

I 100 percent agree with you. There is no reason that religion should get in the way of a relationship with God and it does. The frustrating part for me is that ppl associate religion with God which is not true at all. Jesus came to destroy religion (see gospels for part of Jesus' death that refers to the tearing of the curtain). It saddens me to here that religion has made you question and end your relationship with God I will hope and pray that some day you can see the awesome power and love that a relationship with God has to offer until then. thank you for your clarification.
