"but perhaps its part of all our evolution to eventually come to the realization that we need no middleman between God and ourselves, no institution to facilitate any sort of spiritual connection at all."

yet we place more belief and faith in figures of authority than we do ourselves. Heya @rok-sivante! An interesting piece you have here, as I feel that in some way or another everyone forgoes some responsibility, leaving it up to some larger system to figure it out.

Belief in systems, while necessary for growth, displaces some accountability felt by the believer. Being a Computer Information Systems major, I'm down for some structure, not outdated though. Believing in something that has outlived its usefulness—Welp, there's already too many people that believe in things without a reason.
