You sound like you’re about to take a fantastic journey and I’m going to be looking to see where you go
I’m very much christian and about 13 years ago I looked at the faith I grew up in and the people in it and what I ended up with has been phenomenal. I let go of some of it and some of it I built on., and that combination gave me a life I would have never dreamed possibe.
Don’t ditch it all. The things in it that don’t make sense to you, probably don’t make sense because they’ve been interpreted wrong. The founders of the faith are the ones who had it right. They started it. They had it right. Thats who we should look to for understanding. The people who promote it today probably have it wrong.
The journey in getting back to the orignal is awesome. Atleast thats what my experience has been. The things they “capitolize” on today in the christian commmunity , were never capitolized on by the fouding fathers and thats who I now have developed a very fond apprectiation for. The fouding fathers of most faiths were giants. These people today just want the stature of the founding fathers. They don’t care much for what they stood for
Check out your religious roots. You’ll probably love them a lot more than what you see on the branches..
Also:
I must say I really enjoy talking to people much more who have
departed from their churches and take their spirtual belifs personaly, than those who go to church regularly and don’t know didily about the focus of the founding fathers of their faith. What are they in these “faiths” for
Looking to hear from you
