What Kind Of Church Don't You Attend.

I subscribe strictly to the "What-If" theory. I've never been religous. I have attended churches for MANY religions. But my own personal beliefs are not associated with any of them. I walk the right path on my own.

That works. I have a similar way, but I believe that religion can be a great way to focus upon the Creation of OVERYTHING - and it follows - a CREATOR.

Sometimes I feel it could be a circular thing - the creator created us so we could create the Creator. Or that we are all the CREATOR, but just a splinter part - and eventually we all reassemble. OR the grand argument - "There HAS to be something about existing - or else we would not!"

So me? Methodist, Catholic and Wiccan - mixed in with my innate spirituality, and my old soul - GOD what a mix! PUN INTENDED.

It seems like, for those of us who are posting here, walking our own path is a common thread. I walk my own trail that blends facets from many places into a whole which works for me.

I do believe in the Bible. I have found through my years of searching, that Bilical truths mirror my Native American spiritual beliefs. As for chuch....I don't attend. I find that most churches are to tied into being religious and legalistic vs. having a very real spiritual, intimate relationship with Great Spirit, God the Creator. God is Spirit. We have to worship in Spirit. Just my belief.

I'm an empirical rationalist with no time for concepts like gods or souls. I am, however, psychologically disposed towards religion. This combination pretty much demands a lone path.

I do have a church, but only online; there aren't enough of us in one place to have otherwise. And I don't like the First One very much, so I rarely go there.

Non denominational Christian Church. Basically one that gets its beliefs strictly from the Bible and doesnt have the corporate hiearchy that some churches have. I am a very firm believer that God sent his son Jesus to walk among us and he died on a cross and rose again. I believe that Jesus gave us a new testament to live from and the old testament is just historical reference.

I come from a Catholic family but most people in my family are vehemently anti-religious. In my personal understanding

of spirituality over the years I have come a long way, for a long time I was bitterly angry at and institution I thought to be

the cause of many wars. However I have changed my mind and come to the thinking that religion is one of many things

unfairly, demonised- it is not religion that causes war but people.

Now I've come to find myself envious of people with religion in there heart, I think to have faith is a beautiful thing.

I believe in some thing wether that is cause and effect, Karma or simply that people are good, but in groups they can be

dangerous.

sorry not sure how clear that is

I believe in a power greater than me and I call him/her God. Thre are billions of galaxies out there, ours being a bit small. I believe one day we will realise how powerful god Really is. I do not belong to any religion except the feeling in mt heart that there is a god.

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!
    • April Marie
      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      Leadership and Management, the differences and similarities between the two as well as the applications of military leadership principles across the spectrum of professions.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Congrats!
