i would say organized religion is a general failure. but i'm not sure that i'd personally say that in and of itself is a lost cause. admittedly i haven't given it much thought, and god knows i haven't been a devout christian for i'm not sure how long now. it's a little difficult for me to wrap my mind around. you've given me something to contemplate though.
