). I also got the idea that God was a being that is the manifestation of all that is good in the Universe, but God is also a vengeful. I was pretty disillusioned about Catholicism at that point. The Bible was even worse, I found it hard to find the Bible as a religious source because of a the bias toward women, the contradiction that are soo bad and silly that I was just disgusted with Christianity, as a religion. Most people would have become agnostic or atheist at that point, but I still had many unanswered questions about God and personal opinions. To a degree I would say I'm agnostic, but the fact that there so many unsolved mysteries in the world, I do have a vague belief in God. Which Leads to what I think God is really about.My Epiphany Is (this is solely my opinion) that God is the manifestation of of all Good, God is not vengeful, nor does God share any other negative Human characteristics. God created humans to be imperfect as a test, to see if imperfect beings can strive to be more than what they started out as. Think about it wouldn't it be silly if God made humans to be perfect??
Second is that God doesn't play favorites and he doesn't interfere with human affairs. As for Hell, I personally don't really think it exists, It seem more like a scare tactic that the fundies of the past concieved to get people in line. If it does exist then I'd think you'd have to have been a very very nasty pric to get there, on Hitler's level.
Don't mean to preach to anybody, but just share my view on Religion. Seeing that's it's a touchy subject I thought it would be good to put up my views of Religion so there'sa general understanding on this thread. Perhap other can do the same.
