From a young age, I was raised as a Southern Baptist. As an adult, I find their views on evolution and the bible contradictory to my own now. I have a one year old daughter and I want to provide her with a healthy Christian environment that doesn't contradict my own beliefs. If anyone could help me figure out what religion best matches my own beliefs, I would be grateful.
Basically, I do believe that evolution could have been a tool used by God to create us. I do not believe that the bible should be taken so literally, ie, I don't believe the world was made in six days and I don't believe God flooded the entire world and Noah saved all the animals by taking them into an ark. I do believe in birth control. I have a hard time condemning gay people. I don't believe same sex marriages were God's plan, but I have a hard time faulting someone for finding love in another person who is the same sex. True love is hard enough to find. I am pro-life. I believe in Jesus Christ and that he died for our sins.
Can anyone help me pin down which doctrine of faith would best suit me?
Thanks!
