My religion

Since time began, man (and woman) has been trying to change God's plan to what suits them. Interpret God to suit there own agenda. 

Which religion is "right"? Which bible is the "true" word of God? Which Doctrine is the "correct" way to worship? Who's side is He on? Well, for that matter, which "God" is the true God? 

I think there is one God, that has been God since before time. When he created man, man decided to define Him. Since then we have splintered into so many definitions of Him that all we can do is argue over who and what He is. 

Instead of arguing over that, I choose (free will to do so in this country) to keep it as simple as possible: love God, as I know Him, (God is Love) trying always to get closer to Him; and to display the same love and forgiveness He gives me, to other human beings. All of them, not just the ones I agree with, or am similar to. 

This includes humans that fly flags that scare me a little. Humans that don't worship God as I see Him. Humans that are republican, and humans that are democrat. Humans that are assholes. I don't have to like them to love them. Also humans that don't worship God. Humans that worship different gods. 

If I haven't lost you by now, let me get into how I come to this philosophy. My "book of Gods word" tells me these things:

1. We cannot be God, we are human. We all fall short, and are guilty of something. We just simply cannot work our way into being without a fault. 

God knows this. I know this. We have an understanding. 

2. God, through Jesus, provided my forgiveness of this human condition. he filled the gap. He paid my debt. He takes the punishment for the bad things I do. 

3. I try to live a life of gratitude to this God who completely understands me, forgives me, and loves me despite of myself. 

I don't wish to offend anyone for their belief or non belief. I just had the overwhelming urge to post my belief. 

If you believe in God and want to please Him, maybe today you could post something loving instead of spreading hate. Just a little. Please.
