I was raised Christian, and I went in and out of it for a while, and finally I've accepted that while I'm a Furry Friend of Jesus, I'm not really interested in organized religion. That said, I YAM interested in spirituality, seeking truth and light and goodness, forgiveness, and all the things that we all know are important, because we're Human Beings, and it's built-in (unless you're a psychopath, but that's another story, eh?).
So, for me, going back to something that didn't work for me to begin with doesn't get it; and yet, I find myself feeling FULL OF A DESIRE FOR LIGHT, LOVE, and GRACE. Go figure. ;) And I'm NOT saying you're wrong, or that you should do what I THINK you should do, or anything like that... Just pointing out that it's not black & white... xo
I can't believe you were as bad a you've made out Rob. We've spoken already about where I am with ragrds to the big guy, but as regards to others, you've made a good point here. I can't be the only one who has gone from atheist, to believing in something bigger, and seeing all this for what I truely feel it is. Which is a spiritual battle between good and evil/God and the Devil. I have never read the Bible and I don't knopw how much of it has been corrupted, but the core tenants of morality, love, forgiveness and truth simply cannot be false or corrupted as these things are the antithesis of corruption.
Good post.
