More than a man who walked the earth, Mr. Moses, a great teacher and striver for justice for all mankind who commanded that we love each other. I've struggled with my spirituality for a long time, since around 12 years old. There was so much in scripture that just didn't seem right, the creation story, Jonah in belly of a whale, eye for an eye etc. I wondered if God/The Great Spirit would give me a pass if I followed the Golden Rule and the Commandments.
I've asked my religious friends for guidance and they say the Bible is as confusing to others as it is to me. Once I was in a car driven by the diocesan vicar-general, an economist and friend. I told him that I got out the books about God during a 10-day illness. "Y'know, Father," I said, "it's really quite simple and you guys make it difficult." He replied, "Yes, it is and yes we do." I can't say I believe everything if I don't so I'll just do as I've been doing and keep hoping.
Thanks for your advice.
