I've mentioned this here many times before. Seems like a good time to bring it up again.
My earliest profundity about religion as an emerging adult happened when I saw a Rabbi on the old Mike Douglas Show circa 1969 when he was still based in Philly.
The Rabbi's words were simple. God created earth and man created religion. He had me at "Hello !" on that one.
I have looked at organized religion with that POV ever since.
Same here. I had my first inclination of that at age 10 when my priest revealed himself to be an alcoholic who cruelly emotionally abused children within his parish, including me. I rejected Catholicism a few years later when I had enough time to process it. I tried other religions & none of them passed muster. I came to understand myself as a spiritual human being with a close relationship to a higher power of my own understanding. After that spiritual awakening everything fell into place.
But thatâs just my story. Some people find what they need from their chosen religion. To each their own, just donât force your beliefs upon me. God bless the separation of church & state enshrined in our Constitution. Some inspired wisdom there.

My kidneys have human DNA, but I'm not going to name them. There are more "faiths" than just the Christian version. Why do you single them out ? One might conclude that you already are a communist and have faith in nothing other than The State to grant you all your rights. Or just a Christian hater. I dunno. You'll just have to set the record straight. Or not. Your choice.
