Well Scarecrow , Hello to you ....Wow reading your words.
First I might say I`m not versed or read of the bible well. Yet ! I was raised Roman Catholic and left the faith as I saw people being judged and omitted because they did not do as what was believed right. Talk about forgiveness....
It made me sit back and really look and than I packed up and walked away from the religion.
I than eduacted myself on my Native American ancestors and their belief of energy and nature.
I beleive in every religion yet believe there is but one God . I beleive in being truthful, that it is very important and that kindness is too, I believe its important to be a good person , I also believe I have to expect others to be that way too, or more so I beleive in responsibilty , one must be responsible
I see Biblical and think spiritual, a belief in God , although not Christian, I label myself "just" spiritual.
To me spiritual is huge.
I think on forgiveness and what is said by some religions, pray, go to penance , and you are forgiven, I wonder if that is too easy a thing. I wonder if we as human beings must do better , I see a lot of well I did it, I asked forgiveness ,got it and than a person does again..... Does God expect more of us? I seriously feel he/she does expect more of us . I believe God wants us to walk a good path , a better path , to make a better world .....
