Religion operates through fear. I believe 100% in the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross, and I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, but I think that religion has taken Jesus and that ultimate sacrifice He made for us all, and twisted it all into something else completely and made Jesus into their "mascot" but I believe that the coming of the Son of God was to set us free entirely and was to dispel religion completely. Somehow, religion incorporated Him in order to never lose power and riches and glory, in order to remain in control. That's what I think. : )C.

This is the aide of you I have read before that made me think you could "preach". You were so shocked by that! I just meant that I agree with so many of your personal spiritual beliefs and you express them and yourself so well that I think you are an inspiration. I have a serious problem with organized religion that thinks their way is the only right way and everyone else is damned if they don't believe the way they do. It is so strange to me how people can twist the word of God to suit their own needs. Why do they chose to believe in a God that is so judgmental and hateful and downright picky?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454925115428994669noreply@blogger.com
