Whatever you believe, at least believe something.
I have seen firsthand why most people that shy away from religion, have done so alot because of Southern Baptist...they are extreme right or wrong, black or white period. No in between, no gray or even rainbows .
I call myself a Christian when in fact I'm an independent...I just have a faith in what I believe. That's the key word. BELIEVE. No one knows anything. You're born, you live, and you die. I'm not about analyzing what we might become afterwards, or have been before. I know what I FEEL in my heart. That's not belief, it's experience from FEELING.
I have mentioned Alaska before. My visit there was the most spiritual experience I've ever had. Something bigger than man created the beauty, the majesty, of the mountains, the wildlife, and even a speck like me, and being there was a true testament of that...FOR ME. I felt it, alone, by myself.
Someone else could go there and be repulsed by the surroundings.
Would I think them wrong? No.
I've said before, what we experience in life and how we deal with it is ours to deal with, not to be judged.
I don't think I am better or worse than anyone else for believing what I do. I'll share what I've experienced and try to explain it, but I don't expect anyone to get the same out of it.
It was mine...and I am grateful to whatever aura, being, creator, gave it to me.
My mother is Native American, so she believes in more Earthly spirituality, the Great Spirit and all the teachings.
I can grasp that also...and yes, Alaska helped.
(If everyone is ready to shut me up with my Alaska Experience, please feel free to donate charitably to the "Send Heather's Ass There Permanently Fund".) LOL
