God does not need an interpretor or a middle man.
Many have been screwed up in life not because of what God has or hasn't done - but MAN and his selfishness and need for power. Religion itself is power - stand up there "look at me listen to me but don't do as I do" attitude.
I think hell if it exists will be filled with those claiming to know the will of God for others and it's offensive when people mix God with religion - huge difference. I'd say that God thinks pretty much like those on GFY who are angry at what has been said and one all in the name of --- or biblical interpretation.

Well. I never really had a religion. Never did like it, always seemed like just one more cult that was more socially acceptable. I've always thought that I was a very "spiritual" person. Well, and I am, too.... I can effect people without even interacting with them through voice, eyes or touch. There's definitely more to life than human beings know about, for sure.
You're right that most people who claim to be experts on god and living great lives will go to their hell if it exists. Well and I was always taught that living good isn't the ticket, it's the believing and the faith that makes you "saved". Either way.
These people say jesus jesus jesus and then they're the most hypocritical greedy prideful sinful judgemental people I've ever known. Oh, and then, they tell you trust god trust god, yet when they have a small problem they completely lose it and forget all about "trusting god".
