I reacted to the latter because it was last while others reacted to the religious part. To put them both together, I think that we could all say that in times of need, what we want most is a warm loving human being next to us than an all powerful entity our tiny human minds have a hard time with.</p> Having read the comments, it’s interesting to see how the post itself is made up of two completely different parts.

It's actually an interesting thing to consider.. how exactly you got to the place you are spiritually.</p> So funny you should mention all this when my Christian Identity/ blowoff Class just finished writing our “Spiritual Autobiographies.” It’s actually an interesting thing to consider.. how exactly you got to the place you are spiritually.

And I think that, though God's wish would be that we all work toward doing the right things, He appreciates a heart that says "thank you" and "help" a whole lot more than one that blindly follows a list of rules. It's a deeper understanding and a real faith.</p> You know, I still really believe all those things.

Dress them up, ship them out the door, go back to bed and read. Church and all my stupid little friends gave me the impression God was an old Santa like figure - twinkling eyes, big gut, long beard and definitely white - in a laziboy in the sky. What a relief to find out it wasn't true (because the bastard never answered one prayer). Free will and God have since seemed synonymous to me. I get a chuckle when people - regardless of their beliefs - blame this nebulous creature, God, for the state of human created situations. "If God really existed, there wouldn't be starving people." That kind of comment. It's cute and moronic, like the average bungling idiot.</p> I grew up with parents who used church to get a free morning from kids once a week.
