I believe in God. I am not a Christian and the entire foundation of the Christian faith offends me deeply. John 14:6 is so wildly inconsistent with God’s beautiful, diverse manifestation that it could only possibly have been written by self interested men trying to use the message of God to control others. No thanks.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”……nope, I have a relationship with God because I am of God. We are the church and one of an infinite number of manifestations of God in this miraculous universe. There is not one right way to be in relationship with God anymore than there is one right way for a tree to grow.
Jesus is awesome. He is divine. But here’s the thing: so are you and so am I. (Arguably the gnostic gospels and missing books of the Bible point to a Jesus who taught exactly this, but that version of his teaching was censored and bastardized over millennia by the church).
There, I said it. Deal with it.
