Wow—we’ve talked some and a lot privately. But all to say:
You are the kind of person that gives me hope religion will not brings us more wars nor continue to cause so much division.
Your bright love for others and honest look at rational thought without fear of what others may think or say—brings dialogue.
We need critical thought which religion will often dismiss with a stroke of —just believe.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Mine began with a book called, If God Is Love….
…then the tsunami of questions and what-about and what-ifs all come rushing in….
And I eventually embraced my truth…I wasn’t afraid but I do not share it openly as I have no desire to convince or “Un-convince” anyone—
Religion can be a very traumatic experience—and I have no desire to break anyone’s bubble. They need to walk that path themselves.
