Changing me, understanding people and god better
It has been almost a year since my last post. A year in which I have undergone many changes, while not too numerous to list here, if anyone would be interested in reading them, I will have to wait to even begin as work is calling me. I just wanted to make a post since I just posted a comment to someone else's blog.
I hope to enter the discussion on religion, as that is one of the areas that has changed about me. The changes are still in a volatile stage and I am not able to summarize them, but I am sure that trying to do that will help me see the changes better myself.
Below are the comments I posted, alone they do say much about my personal journey;
When we stand for something we often end up standing against what we see as the opposite. I sometimes thing that may be a property of being human, an unfortunate one, but one that rears it ugly head all the time.
I know UU's who bring bibles to church and ones who are devout atheists, but they come to the same church and seek some connection with the divine and their fellow human being.
God is more than we can comprehend, we can only work toward understanding all of god, we never will. God is the Awe and wonder of the milky way shining across the sky and the millions of cells in your body reflecting that light, the idea and actuality of Jesus, Allah, Buddha, so much more, and everything in between. Does god exist outside of all of this? Does my opinion of god change god, of course not, it changes me? I hope to get closer to knowing and understanding god, knowing fully that I will never completely succeed, nor will anyone else.
