I totally understand what you mean! I was raised Christian (baptist) and I had so many questions that could never be answered. So I stepped away from church about 6 years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. It makes a lot if people uncomfortable when you seek your own path and relationship with god/goddess. I have often told people (with much shock as a response) I believe in god but I believe that god has many ways to be found( or messengers)--in nature, in Christ, in Mohammad, in Buddh

@PoetryGirl Glad this resonated with you.

i totally agree with you about religion, i think it more of an individual journey to seek God. You don't have to go to a church or any other temple to seek God. You just need to look within yourself. I believe there is truth in all the different religions, they just take different paths to end up at the same destination. if we all tried to be more like Jesus this world would be a better place.

@angie101972 I agree, but I'm also okay with people being religious, but taking the best from what they believe and implementing it in their lives. Religion can just be so...ugly.

I completely agree with everything you believe. This video helped me. I stopped practicing Christianity last year due to me finding out it is the religion Europeans pushed upon Slaves during slavery. I believe and know there is a God, but now I am okay just saying I believe in God as the infinite spirit and that is all. I have a great relationship with God. He is within all of us. Bottom line. I just wish others would respect our way of spirituality and not be so judgmental.

@ClearSky101210 Bless you on your way, my dear. Whatever path works for you is the right path. I have found that the most religious people tend to be the most disturbed by differences of beliefs. It likely challenges them in a way that makes them uncomfortable. I'm okay with those who believe something and those who believe nothing, because it is for them to figure out the best way to navigate this world. I'm glad to hear this helped. All the best.

You MUST be some sort of NT personality type! me too. :)

[alexiscentric]

@QueenSemiramis Ha. I don't think I am NT, but more of an ENTP...

I hear and understand you. I respect you. My situation is similar, and although I enjoy Christian services I can no longer proclaim the Bible as an absolute truth. So I will not be a hypocrite any longer. Lots of questions still not answered, but that is OK. The Creator is good - I definitely believe in a higher spirit. Peace to you!

@npkandi Here is to living your truth...whatever it may be.
