You make a good point. But I still think there is something to be said for the fellowship and the opportunity to hear other points of view. That is about as much as I support the local church I attend (okay, and a few dollars into the plate).

let's see who in the Bible hasn't had an organized church.
Noah
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph.
Moses
the judges
let's wee who else?
Jesus (whom I prefer to call Yeshua), the apostles, Paul -- a few others.
wonder how they got their faith?
IN fact, Yeshua taught pretty vehemently against the organized religion -- Paul did too in Hebrews especially -- saying we need no high priest or priestly system and that we can access god directly without need of a mediator of any sort.
institutional religion has the tendency to divert us from god and toward their own agenda.
