Some people have ask me to go to church with them. I often say yes. I do not have a church 'home'. I am open to new experiences. I do not think I will ever have a church 'home'.
I do not like the thought of someone giving me their version of God.
I believe in God. I just do not believe any one person is right.
God is a mystery. A mystery we will never figure out. At least I will never figure out.
I once asked a priest why there is so much war at the beginning of the Bible. He did not answer in any way. He just said that I needed to read each section of the Bible as separate books.
I do not understand why he just did not say that he did not know. I would have respected that answer.
I decided to make it my mission to read as many books as I could about the Bible. I even read the Bible.
I realized reading all the books about the Bible was just like going to church. I was allowing someone else to influence my thinking trough written word.
I understand I should go to church because it builds community. People with a similar beleif coming together. What if I do not agree with the community? I am joining the church to socialize and to talk about similar beliefs.
What if I want to believe that God has etched out a path for me to follow. What if I want to believe my God really leaves it all up to us and he just leaves it all up to us? What if I want to believe that God is just a giant mirror?
In that mirror we see what makes us great and we see our flaws. We were made in His image. What if we see ourselves when we die? Would it not make sense that the image be our own.
It is something to think about.
