Lately I have begun to question what my spiritual beliefs are. I have read a bit and find that I want to run further and further away from organised religion. I was baptized in the Anglican church, I was a young mother and thought that if I was going to have my children baptized I should be as well.. Even when I was taking the course the church held I had a lot of questions, and the answer always came back to have faith and just believe in what they were teaching me.I swallowed that but it put a burn in my gut, and has never been right since.
It is not that I don't believe in God, I do, but as a creator, and after that it is pretty much guess work. All that we know is what was written so many years ago but not near far back enough to actually have an actual real thing.
My feeling for the most part is that religions were created to control people, through fear, intimidation, and servitude. I can also understand why people might find comfort in organised religion, because we want answers.
Answers as to why?, how, who, and when?
With out some sort of answer, I think it would be helter skelter.
Personally I believe that for the most part people would be civilized, but then again maybe not, if there are no consequences for our actions. I am a true believer in take responsibility for your actions.
Just my thoughts for today
