Christianity.....not


I do not want to make a clear declaration of atheism because that is not what I am about. I have beliefs that are rooted in spiritual thinking not necessarily Christianity. In this household we pray a lot mostly giving thanks for what we do have. My experiences have shaped my spirituality. My observations have invaded my thoughts. When people claim they are Christians or of some religious sect I have learned to scrutinize this carefully. What I was taught and I believe is far from what I see. It is my understanding that Christianity is about unity, forgiveness and love. There is only a small portion of the claimed Christians that fit this description. I have met true atheist that have more unity, forgiveness and love. Christianity is rooted in deep family values. I have seen the most dysfunctional families in the world claim and live as if they were Christians.

I do not understand this. I believe in simplicity. Strip away all the riches, greed, thoughts and equalize the belief system and you have equality. People wonder why their children rebel. They are the most opened minded, uncorrupted part of society that is confused by that which is preached and that which is lived.
