I or anyone else can say to assuage that.

That's a legitimate issue.

So you wouldn't fit into my Venn.

But there is a large swath of people that assail the Church or organized religion for a variety of reasons, and espouse individualism and humanism for divine inspiration. My problem with that viewpoint is that everything they say about organized religion, in general terms, can be said about themselves and individuals.

If we're looking for a perfect vessel of God's divine Truth, it's only happened once in the history of mankind.
