Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven
where moth and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot break in and steal

Organized Spirituality or Individual Religion

It's kind of sad that following Jesus, better known as Christianity became something organized. Humans can't help it. Even atheists are codifying and organizing their beliefs into something manageable.
Nevertheless, following The Way could have been a life of piety and engaging the culture. It could have been a serious contender to the world's way of doing life.  It could have been the best and most obvious route to being the kind of human this world needs.


Instead it turned itself into a bully, nasty and discriminating instead of loving and inclusive. It could represent a relationship of giving, instead of politics and power. It could have been attractive instead of ugly.
