I frequently read articles like this plus the responses.  For the most part I find them tiresome somewhat like a clash of egos for those whose thought processes still occupy an immature, dualistic universe.   For myself the issue is not so much getting the institutional church out of my system as much as recognizing the valuable contribution the church played early in my life and subsequently when, during a period of turmoil, it provided a tangible psychic lifeboat to keep me above water.  However I subsequently have entered a period of personal and spiritual growth with the discovery of real time mystical experiences and, in Richard Rohr's terms, a non dual experience of Christ' presence in my life and the world.  Any church or belief system mired in that immature dualistic thinking universe has little to offer me.  The whole point of Christian maturity is to grow into new, expanding, both/and experiences of the presence of Love/ Christ/God.  Not offered by most institutional beliefs.
