Well, there are some people that use the argument from a sincere heart to communicate the relational desire of Jesus to people that have a negative view of organized religion. Even if they get a little off theologically to go it, at least they are sincere about it. I don’t have a huge problem with that.

It seems like recently I have been around a large number of people that use the statement as a “badge of spirituality.” And even so far as a be-all end-all answer to everything. How to pray for my Mother-and-law’s cancer? “It’s all about relationship, not religion!” Huh?
