My Bible is better than yours.

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Everyone,

Dawne I must say that I agree with your post. Not everyone follows the

same drummer, and therefore probably not the same drum either.

Everyone gains inner peace about their connection to God, Buddha,

Yahweh, or whatever name your choose to give your Higher Power

in the same manner.

I myself personally grew up Christian, but became turned off to

" religion " because some of the people who could only manage to live

their faith one day

a week. The other 6 days they were backstabbing, lying, deceiving,

unethical people. Eventually I stopped being part of an organized

religion and

turned inward. I now use several books as well as teachers and scholars.

The teachings from these sources help me to turn inward in my quest

for connection to the divine.

 

HOWEVER......this is a list in which the description says nothing about

religion. I joined the list to learn of alternative methods to

maintain and/or regain health, as I'm sure almost everyone else did. The

origin of this topic had nothing to do with religion. Angie, I respect

your right

to believe as you wish. However, organized religions that say you " must "

do something only seek to control thru fear and guilt. But it was an

inappropriate post for the list, and frankly, I'm not quite sure how you

made the leap from one topic to another.

If you wish to debate each other about religion, please do it privately.

 

Thanks,

Nanci
