Religious Journey

http://greatmiddleway.wordpress.com/2012/03/31/two-kinds-of-doubt/

Religion itself is a good thing

But the kind of unquestioning literalistic certainty

Is what turns our religious ideas of God

From a loving creator

Into a bigoted tyrant

And us into his unwitting accomplices.

So make doubt part of your religion.

Doubt everything that doesn’t sit right with you

And especially those things that sit TOO well

And then hold on

Your idea of God is going to start doing cartwheels

But don’t worry

Religious faith is made for this kind of journey.

"no one puts new wine into old wineskins"   -Mark 2:22

"we should not think that the nature of the divine is like gold or silver or stone, an image which can be formed by the art and thought of humans"   -Acts 17:29
