    Topic: Faith

    My faith came about when I chose it for myself.
    Everytime someone else tried to force their faith into me, I was repelled away from it.
    I believe you should choose your own.

    Pagan, no faith, or something else... I believe that's up to you. Your an individual, your own separate entity. You will be doing something different than me, in your own shoes in your own life, you may need a faith different than my own.

    I believe in the Bible as the True word of God.

    Follow your own path.

    My own journey is a long story.

    I remember hating Church from the start.
    I hated wearing dresses. The horrible singing, the stand up, sit down, the boring speeches. The unpleasent clothes. Who wants to elect themselves a second set of rules, when I was struggling with the first set!
    Also, my faith was killed when I was four, when a man "chosen by God" touched me in private places.

    I'd physically cringe in back pain, everytime anyone mentioned faith of anykind, for almost 30 years since.

    "killed my faith" oh, not 'my' faith, it was my parents' faith. Lutheran.

    Didnt feel good. Didnt feel right. I'm glad I ditched it.

    Even now, when I believe in stuff in the Bible, I'm glad I ditched religion. Religion is not the same as faith. I can say, I hate religion while I trust Jesus.

    I believe God wouldn't be limited to a book.

    I believe faith should feel good, NOT a prison.
    I believe in something different than popular Christianity.

    Many who claim Christianity, isnt my faith.

    I dont need the Bible to feel what I feel. But reading it did help in some areas of life. I read the whole thing, like one would read a novel. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. It's a book, a buncha words and stories of people doing stuff.

    I thought, why not. I'll read it all, so I could say, I did it.

    I dont believe there is one universal faith. We each have different paths, one path for each soul in existence. I cant follow your way, when I have my own path.

    Your choice, your life.
