Teach, Learn, Share

This I believe: That Christ's most important message was that we are called upon to become our own spiritual/religious guide; that the time for organized religion started to be on the way out almost 2000 years ago; that Christ's group-think-busting power can manifest in anyone, of any religious or non-religious persuasion; and that this realization today on a broader basis IS the "second coming". (I never proselytize, and certainly not to people who are not interested).
