Relig.

Religion. I've tried to find a religion that suits what I believe. I believe a religion shouldn't decide what I believe, but my beliefs should decide my religion. Religion isn't even a word I like, relationship is better.

Closely matching my beliefs are baha'i faith and the quakers (friends church). So I'm still not suited. Good news is that god and I are tight even without a word to define it. I just want to be able to explain my love in a word. That's all the religion words are right?

I believe god loves ME.
I believe sins are only things that hurt others. Sex isn't a sin unless it hurts another, lying is a sin, murder, thievery, manipulation, rumors, gossip those things.

Drinking is only a sin if it leads to misbehavior that hurts another...I.e. DUI.

Homosexuality is NOT a sin, its just an advejctive of a person, like being blond or liking rap music. Its not a choice, rather the way they were created. I love the gays and our society's intolerance is for sure a sin.

God is love and to show him to others is not to just talk and force it down their throats. Its to show them in actions. Love is a verb. One can't say they are exuding gods love completely because they go door to door or tithe 20% when there are homeless asking for help and they judge.

Live your life to be HAPPY but not at the expense of someone else...instead work to make yourself and everyone happy.

I think if we all outlined exactly what we believe in words other than by using the word of the religion we believe. Maybe we'd realize our god is all the same and we could be at peace.

That's what I want.
