Wow, we are on the same page!!!:jam:rousley said:I'm with you, God is God no matter what. It's time people start with faith in God and eliminate the self-serving religious intolerance of each other. I believe that religion is generally people's efforts to cover up their own shortcomings. But, on the other hand, to have faith in God is to begin with knowing that we don't compare to God. The God of all has to meet certain criteria to qualify as God. It seems like every religion has started with some important, consistent, meaningful truths and twisted them into self preserving actions that exclude anyone who doesn't agree with their ideas. Even Christianity has been made into extreme forms of faithless actions to cover people's own sins when the Christian Bible states very clearly over and over again that there is nothing a person can do to be worthy but believe that God has met one of His qualifying criteria by providing reconciliation for people to have Him in their lives. I have always enjoyed studying various religions and nonreligious people's ways of life. It's just too bad that people miss the point of faith in the God of grace, the only one who originally expresses Himself from outside of time and space and leaves people's will totally open to choose for ourselves.
Continue searching for the TRUTH hiajuro, and try not to settle for anything less. In the meantime I don't seem to recall that you had to belong to a particular organization to thank GOD you can do it now and I guareentee you that he/she will BE listening.hiajuro writes: I am no expert, but I have constantly been searching for the truth, something that I thank whoever "God" really is.
Sounds like what i'm trying to do - find God without all the dogma and other stuff that obscures the truth.huajiro said:I don't think it really falls under any other religion, as it is in all reality a combination of all, just the truths from each, something that creates conflict bewteen them
