I grew up in a Baptist church. My dog tags listed Christian, non-denominational. I married a Roman Catholic woman, the 7th of 8 children.

I place my faith in God alone. No organization of man is incorruptible. "...wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there am I..."

I too was born a skeptic. Instinctively, I distrust the motives of others, especially groups. We are to expect a falling away of the church. Outright adoption of teachings at direct odds with those of scripture.
