I have been reading some of the posts about religion and some of the questions and assumtions we have about each other.....
I was raised going to many different churchs/synagogue/temple. My Mother wanted me to be able to choose which path to God was for me. To her the only way was to make sure I saw as many for atleast 3 months so when I came of age I could with an informed mind follow the path to God.
Yes I choose Southern Baptist to worship in...why because that was the "family" church of my now ex. Yes I had lots of questions and didnt follow along with the sheep....which upset some oh well they got over it...when I left. I went to another Southern Baptist church because they focused on finding the answers in the bible then praying....I still wasnt home.
Well here I am in BFE I have 4 choices in church...The big Southern Baptist...hmmmm nope I dont have the fancy clothes or the big pocketbook they want, the "peopleschurch" no they are really methodists and as long as its in moderation its ok..not for me, Mormon LOL yeah ok I agree with alot of what they say but sorry my path to God is through Him and I. so that leaves the "cowboy church" ....I went to one in NC it was very good but this one is nothing like that. They believe your beliefs change based on whats going on.....ie.. no drinking .....unless its XIT rodeo, follow the 10 commandments....ooppsss brother bill had an affair with sister sue now wife betty lue is sueing for divorce . We have to stand behind brother bill ...he paid for the new church van....
Which lead me to search what am I???? What I found about blew me over......LOL
I am 100% in the central tenets of Orthodox Quakers :shock:
Some of the questions reminded me of some of the posts here.....If you dare take the quiz ...share if you like but I think you might find some assumtions we hold are off base.
