I don't affiliate myself with any religious groups. However, I was raised Catholic so I do have some preexisting knowledge on that subject.

I think where Christianity goes wrong is when people the bible literally. I think it should be read more subjectively and metaphorically. I don't call myself a Christian, but I do believe in the basic teachings of Jesus Christ. He was certainly a remarkable man with many important universal teachings. Love thy neighbor, be a good person, have respect for your fellow man.

It's when people make assumptions and read the Bible to closely when problems start. For example, I don't see how any person that calls him or herself a Christian(follower of Christ) can justify hate through their religion. Like these hardcore fundamentalist who say that "God hates Gays" and justifies their hatred with some obscure text in the Bible. If God truly hates gays, I would say look up into the heavens, raise my middle finger, and proclaim "Fuck you."

However the God that I've been taught exists is a God of love. The God that I know doesn't hate anyone, in fact he loves every single person. If I am somehow wrong about this, then I will renounce my faith on the spot.

About the evolution quip. It is called the Theory of Evolution because the only way to make it a Law would be to go back in time and observe the changes, since that is impossible, it "technically" remains a "theory". It is accepted as Fact in the Scientific and Christian communities. There is no argument that evolution took place, that is a fact, however the argument is about how the process of evolution occurred.

I've talked to my priest about this, so I'm not just pulling this out of my ass. The only Christian groups which don't accept evolution as fact are fundamental extremist groups. The Catholic church, on the other hand, has openly accepted evolution. There is really no way to deny it. The evidence is there. Cold, hard fossil facts.

However I don't limit myself to merely Christian thinking. I've done research on Buddhism and Hinduism. I agree with a lot of what these and other Eastern spiritual groups believe in.

I'll mold my own belief system based on my own personal spiritual experiences. I think more people ought to do that instead of blindly following one particular group.
