You get more out of life than football and video games, you are out serving and loving others. While you are not a Christian, you are doing the things Jesus taught. You are feeding your soul as you take care of God's children. I just find it interesting how much people from different backgrounds have in common! I'd rather focus on similarities than point fingers. I'd rather accept people for who they strive to be.
I agree, religion has no meaning for someone when it is forced on them. You must find your own way to God or there is no real relationship.
People are not meant to be solitary. Life is not a one player game!
Your payitforward post is perfect. I'll take a look at it later, when I have a few minutes to focus. It looks interesting!
YES! A thousand times yes! This is exactly what I'm trying to get at. Let's all focus on the lessons and not the doctrine. Let's all be kind to others and respect our differences. We all have different paths in life, and there's no clear cut route for everyone. Wherever that path finds us, whether we choose to follow others or don't, is what we're destined to take. I'm glad we share that similar sentiment.
