Say this to yourself: "Jesus was NOT the Son of God"

I said it. I believe in God but the one I believe in is nothing like what I see others describe it as. I don't believe in the fire and damnation bullshit, I think my belief probably resembles love & nature more than anything else.

I don't care if you all think I'm fruity.

I don't think you are fruity.

Saying that is the one unforgivable sin, btw. It used to strike fear in my heart. That fear changed to trepidation after some thought. Now I think it's almost cruel to instill that idea in children. Eternal damnation...WTF?

If you have to use fear, something isn't right. Fear is for criminals and lesser beings. It is an instinct. Thought is much better. Logic is not the enemy to the soul.

My greatest spiritual challenge is learning not to control everything and achieve some kind of balance. I thought I was easy-going until I started to become mindful of the expectations I place on life and on others. Do you let people around you fuck up or not? When do you step in to "save" someone? I wrestle with that.

Christianity is easier because it gives you an easy faith in life and what comes after. Having faith that isn't given to you is much harder to achieve.
