I still belive in God, but only a god who cares about truth, kindness, relevance, and open attitudes about life. So I've chosen to take a path meaningful tome, rather than the spoon-fed lifestyle of "the church".

Freethought is the most healthy way of exploring religion, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Peace. -------------------------------------------------------------- And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

I must say I pretty agree with everything you have to say about the current state of the church. -------------------------------------------------------------- There is no fire like hatred, no rushing river like craving, and no snare like illusion.

I hope ideas can be freely explored on this board--best wishes and goodbye. Welcome. I must say I pretty agree with everything you have to say about the current state of the church.
