So. This is what has always bothered me about Christianity. I will get right down to it.

I believe in God. (not some guy in the sky, but supreme being... god-source, the universe).

I thank God everyday by practicing and living in gratitude.
I strive to live close to God by being peace, love and joy and radiating that out to those around me.
I pray/meditate, 2x a day. NOT out of "ritual" but because I love feeling close to God-source.

I went to a strict lutheran college. I have had the bible classes. I have read the bible forward and backwards.

What I got out of that is God is Love. And that is the most important thing.

So, because I don't "worship JESUS" but instead go right for the source... I am going to hell???

For me? That is what is wrong with Christianity. FOR ME.

I love walking in nature and feeling at one with all. The trees, my neighbors, my dog, the rocks... lol. Christianity never offered that to me. That is why I don't relate to it.

So my friends may think I am in some "cult" but I gotta be honest, I think I spend way more time with God than they ever have. And I don't mean that judgemental, but fact. I FEEL god within me.... you can't tell me that is going to send me to hell. Well, you can... I just don't buy it anymore.
