Heaven Hell and Holy Hallucinations The Religion of Common Sense

To be kind is more important than to be right. What people really need is not a brilliant mind but a special heart that listens. This book will not make me popular; quite the contrary. I have to believe that mankind is NOT born evil, but is taught to hate. Religion has taught who among us is worthy and not, thus dividing us with bigotry and judgment. I have to believe we come into this world pure and are simply 'taught' who we must hate. As a child my parents often wondered why, they didn't name me "Why...'" All the "blind faith", "Never question God" and "Because I said so" responses just made me question even more, because none of the answers made sense or could be proven.. Why can't I "question God", "God" is the only one that could answer my questions. Also, FYI, I was saved (profession of faith), baptized twice (I switched religions) and confirmed. Baptist and Episcopalian... So don't think I haven't been through the "Holy Routine". Plus vacation Bible school from birth to 12 years old and church three times a week from birth to 17, when I finally went to college. I never personally subscribed to another organized religion from that day forward.
