449 days…
I realised something today….
I don’t hate God quite so much as I did.
Go figure.
At a time when Westboro Baptists are giving Christianity an evil name, I got to thinking that their main problem is that they take the Bible literally when it’s more of a take home the main idea type book.
…and what’s the main idea?
Love one another.
That’s pretty much it.
The over-riding principal of the Bible.
The principal that supersedes all previous tenets that make people judge each other, hurt each other, discriminate against each other and think that God somehow condones this when he’s pretty clear about not judging others.
All of that is taken away with those three words:
Love one another.
When you love someone, you don’t judge them, hurt them, discriminate against them.
Instead, your forgive them, help them, love them.
and I think some of this hit home … *I* need to remember the main idea.
So while The Big G and I aren’t exactly sorted … I think I don’t hate Him anymore.
Even though he took you away.
I miss you.
I love you.

Letters to my husband 
So well said!! ♥
Progress. So glad you are finding some sense in something, after what you have been through.
It’s not exactly the same, I know, but I remember when the same kind of thought occured to me after I had battled with my belief for many years. I was studying religion as a subject for my journalism degree and realised that pretty much ALL religions preach the same basic tenant: Be Good to Each Other. Be Good and Be Rewarded. It’s man that messes up the interpretation of that message on occasion. We all have a lot in common. Just a shame human beings tend not to focus on that instead of our differences, isn’t it?
