What do you rely on to be a 'good' person? God and church are a part of my life because I strive to be a better person.
I rely on myself to be a good person, I do not need a church or religion to direct me to the "right" path for this.
-TSO
Where did god say the church or religion, would get you to heaven?
Umm tithing?
And which God the god of the Joos or the god of the Christians? Ohh wait they are the same god dude.
but you have a point. Jesus promoted no chruches, but he did promote the temple of god when he ran the money changers out. and was crucified for his troubles.
