WOW this is very deep for me, all I want to add is that I am Catholic, and not biased, I have friends from all religeons and been to a lot of different churches to see for myself, so I think I am pretty broadminded, my belief is that a long as you are Christian and follow Gods teachings then you will be saved, I do not go to church anymore, one reason is that Michael made that impossible, trying to keep a disabled child or young adult with a very deep voice quiet during a mass was virtually impossible, screaming out for everybody to shutup, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm not nice.
And now looking after Geoff and his Mum, makes it hard also, but I pray everyday, and believe in the power of prayer, I know it works, I will not pray for God to save my Husband as I know it is his time, God sent him back 33 years ago, He died and went down the tunnel of light and God Spoke to him and told him to come back as he had more to do before it was his time.
I see God in everything on Earth, it is his creation and we are also created by God, who is to say what is the right or wrong way to Celebrate our Love of God, it is open to interpretation, my own interpretation, is from the Bible itself, blessed are the Meek, and being Meek does not mean weak, Jesus was Meek, but he stood boldly against the Religeous leaders of his day , Look at his meekness in the Garden of Gethsemane when he knew that he would die on the cross soon. SO I am content in my Love of God and being one of his children, I hope I have not offended anybody here with this post
