19. Personal religion...
If you ask any number of religious wackos on this planet, especially fundementalist Christians, they will say that theirs was a personal conversion brought about by personal revelation. Some of the most fervently lunatic fundementalists I've ever known will deny to the ends of the world that they are part of an "organized religion".

Plus, where would religion be without organized religion? I would say, no where. I challenge anybody to make a cogent, coherent argument that religion could continue to exist in any way, shape, or form separate from organized religion.

Religion is nothing more than organized ignorance. It's not only totally unnecessary, it is inherently damaging to mankind's future.
