Not a bad read at all.<br /><br />I'm not uncomfortable with my upbringing. There's a lot of ritual and mystery in the Catholic Church, plus, you know, all kinds of grand references for future writings. I did choose to leave the Church, though, for perfectly rational reasons, and I comfortable with that, too.McMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548643357857777810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326551783186026236.post-53244634244314426432009-09-12T13:20:25.037-07:002009-09-12T13:20:25.037-07:00Sometimes I thank god I was not raised in any reli...Sometimes I thank god I was not raised in any religious tradition.

We'll have a nice glass of wine. :-)<br /><br />Just to clarify - I'm not complaining about people who say, 'God bless you.' I'm talking about relatives who tell us they know we're going to hell, and it makes them so sad that they pray every day that we'll save ourselves. Sometimes we get a description of time spent on knees praying for our withered and blackened souls...<br /><br />'Thank you' seems - I don't know - a little beside the point?McMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548643357857777810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326551783186026236.post-47834340952518982652009-09-04T21:15:24.232-07:002009-09-04T21:15:24.232-07:00Interesting post Cathy.

If asked, yes, I'll tell you my beliefs.<br /><br />I also do not believe in once saved always saved. To me that's carte blanche to do whatever you want to without consequences. <br /><br />But the God I know and love doesn't burn people in hell forever because they did something wrong. Excuse me? That's not just. And justice is one of the personification of God as is love, wisdom, and power. thankfully God uses those powers wisely, and not according to the evagelists pronoucements.<br /><br />What can you say when some one says god bless you? Thank you. But constant repetitiveness doesn't bring more blessings just irritation.<br /><br />To me, walk the talk is what's important. <br /><br />I intend to inherit the earth too. See you there. :-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.com
