Instead, I’m making the same criticisms of RSSB, because that is the religion I’m most familiar with. If I had remained a Catholic, I’d be focusing on the rigidity, narrow-mindedness, and self-righteousness of Catholicism right now, because this would be the religion that I knew best. So my personal experience with organized religion stems from this source, as does the experience of my correspondent and quite a few others who visit the Church of the Churchless. Now, I don’t want this Church of the Churchless blog to become overly focused on criticism of a single small religious organization.īut the reality is that my current preference for churchlessness is an evolution from my previous attachment to a church-the “Church” of RSSB. You’ll see that my correspondent begins by quoting an excerpt from that comment and then heads off from there. This person was stimulated to write after reading a comment posted to my “ Why I embrace unorganized religion” post. A few days ago I got an email from a long-time member of Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB), the spiritual group that I’ve been affiliated with since 1971.
