That is a really good point. After I posted this I went to the bookstore and got a book called "Delusion of Disbelief". It touched on this subject very well. The way David Aikman proposed this question was from a different direction than I have heard before. check it out at www.isanyoneupthere.com

Just thought I should let ya know :-)

No it is not necessary, but note these facts. It is hard for a child to survive and to grow up to maturity without a "family". It is hard to be a "student" by yourself. A twig won't make much of a fire by itself, but join it with several others and it can be part of a blaze. One strand of string isn't very strong, but twist it together with several others, and you get a cord.

For some further guidance on this matter check out my statement on one's "New Life in Christ"; http://www.christianityetc.org/new_life_in_Christ.php

Is it necessary to be part of a religious community in order to fully experience a relationship with God?
