Rant on...I am right with you. Sometimes my personal beliefs confuse people. I can say for myself, I am a blending of many spiritual paths, Christianity is probably the first, right along with Buddhism etc. I cause alot of raised eyebrows from certain people when they ask me what religion I am. Then I go an make the mistake of trying to explain my own personal spirituality. They say to me "Goodness, you don't go to church?" but you said you were Christian. I just give up after awhile. Perhaps I am one who dislikes the "God in the box" mainstream or "organized" religion, but it does get lonely at times and I struggle with feeling judged. I am a part-time librarian for a very small rural library (very conservative) and my bumper sticker on my car has provoked many a comment. "Tree hugging dirt worshiper" .... Thank god we are past the days of witch burning... LOL
