I was raised to find my own way as far as religion and spirituality are concerned. I've read most of the bible free of interpretation from any church. My personal set of ethics and morals pretty much follow what the bible lays out. My mother was born in 1938 and had me when she was forty, so I've been instilled with more old fashioned values. The thing is I'm not entirely sold on the whole Christ died for our sins and our only hope of salvation is through him bit. I believe Jesus lived, I even believe he performed the miracles the Bible says he performed. I'm not sold on the whole resurrection thing, but I don't exactly doubt it either. I believe in/agree with the things that Jesus is attributed to saying. I'm just not sure my interpretation lines up with the church's, any church's. I've spent a great deal of time studying religions and history and I know how the Catholic Church was developed and it was a government project designed for social control. I understand different (Cont.)
