Have you spent time in prayer and study of the scriptures as it relates to your beliefs? Or are you blindly following the dogma taught by your specific religion...maybe what you have been taught to believe since childhood? Or are you blindly following your pastor? I challenge you to open your heart and mind and pray to God for his leadership and conviction...

I have made many tough decisions in order to follow God instead of my church. Mostly because God is perfect, the church is not - at least not yet. I believe that the Bible is the Holy Word of God. It is perfect and eternal - the words of the Church can be flawed at times and all within its walls will die one day.
This wasn't intended to be critical of the church. I still go every Sunday, but it is more of a time to share with other believers and worship the God of all creation.

I never grew up being told a whole lot about religion. Went to church some when I was a child but couldnt tell you much about it cause I was so young. I follow what God's word says. My pastor does not go aganist God's word that I have ever seen. I have studied the scriptures and I use to know alot but as the saying goes if you dont use it you lose it.

This sounds like
"We have _both_ kinds of music - country AND western",
from "The Blues Brothers".

The biggest challenge is doing God's will. I am talking about actually going out into the nation or world and doing his will.Going to church every Sunday and praying is ok but I really think God expects to do more than just attend church.

My beliefs are based on a conviction that there is no god.
I question everything I was taught and make my own choices now.

I don't believe I am blindly following anything or anybody.
