Though I am not a follower of God, in the sort of going to church, having a religion, etc. etc. I think what people have embarked themselves upon is the theory of an individual who fills the hole in our lives and gives us an excuse to hide in, swim in. They've made God someone who we must idolize, like those we see on t.v. Or use God as an excuse to sin, or to not sin instead of finding the power of self worth, they use religion like a shield or a sword for that matter.<br /><br />I think that no matter how, as individuals we see it, we need to find in ourselves the strength and the power we give an invisible being. We need to find deep inside the folds of our own mysteries as people, our own thoughts, our own feelings, instead of justifying them all or holding them all up to someone or something that may or may not exist.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744290658088385238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425460371988606696.post-51410613812416544182009-07-22T09:06:24.230-05:002009-07-22T09:06:24.230-05:00You're my new favorite blog.

While some may prefer Krispy Kreme to Dunkin' Donuts, I'm yet to hear of a gunfight over this particular difference of opinion.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695251051433562340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425460371988606696.post-12665013483478925832009-07-17T13:59:07.487-05:002009-07-17T13:59:07.487-05:00I am going to stick with the doughnut holes and mi...I am going to stick with the doughnut holes and milk.

(Can't speak for any religion but my own, o'course). Like the other day, when I came across a book called thank God for evolution. I thought "great!" But when I googled it there was a website and it was all about how great the author is and how this book will change your life etc. Blech. I think that is an extension of what we've done to God. It's all about us now.Little Nut Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229214790223587780noreply@blogger.com
