I consider myself a very spiritual person. My problem with most religions is the hierarchy that is inherent to the organizations. I don't trust them - I have a large problem with authority - especially illegitimate authority.

Worship to me is personal and can happen anywhere - from the mosh pit at a rock show to the solace of sunrise on the beach.

God is either everything or nothing. I choose to believe the former.
