I agree with you, Ahmad. God is deeply loving, compassionate and merciful. We all have a direct line of communication with God which manifests as intution, inspiration and, if we're really tuned in to the right frequency, revelation. We do need silence though to receive God's guidance. We don't need institutionalised religions to "show us the path to God". We don't need any "intercessors" to interpret God's message for us.
A society full of inspired and creative people is very disruptive for governments to manage so they have to infiltrate and pervert our belief systems in order to "bend the mind of the masses" to meet political objectives. Currently, one of the most pressing political objectives of the west is to commandeer all of the oil reserves in the Middle East. One way to achieve this is to whip up the flames of "Holy Crusade" yet again. So we will witness a resurgence of Trinitarian Christianity (i.e. Catholicism) in the coming years...
Politics determines the perversion of religions which determine the norms of cult-ure.
If it is forbidden to ask questions of the leadership of any organisation, then that organisaion is operating as a cult. These days, both the medical profession and institutionalised religions fall under that definition.
It's interesting that medical professionals used to be able to exercise their better judgement before the bureaucracy that was imposed upon them when the process of privatisation began. The teaching profession was similarly infiltrated by a layer of middle management.
The politicised middle managers are paid more than the doctors and teachers themselves. Its this bureaucratic layer that stifles the initiative of trained experts and demands that they follow government imposed protocols. That's the technique by which the caring professions have been perverted...
Dear Doc, l wish you and all you family a most blessed Christmas. Thank you for your courageous stand. Dr. Philip was a very interesting guest. The Catholic bible has extra books that the King James version does not. Well worth a look.

online links?
The Eastern Orthodox bible also has a slightly different canon of books.
Loved this podcast.
The only comment I have to make about Jesus is to agree with CS Lewis.
Jesus was either mad, bad or exactly who He said He was.
For someone to claim they are God, they can only be one of those three things. A good man who was not God, would never make such a claim.
Great discussion eith Rev Dr Philip - maybe readers here will demand a second one!
I very much appreciated the thought-provoking open discussion, and the timing too, with Christmas almost upon us
