Such fear based religions do little to create a true sense of unconditional love and acceptance. All religions contain grains of truth, all contain flaws. The Path you choose must be one which allows you to fully express your spiritual essence. One which honors and celebrates your values, ethics, beliefs and inner knowings. Whether you choose the Goddess Path, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Paganism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, Native American beliefs, or another spiritual path is not nearly as important as the act of freely choosing.
All faiths work for some people.
The trick is to find the Path that is right for you. Do not be discouraged or coerced into following anyone else's belief system. You have the right to choose your own way of spiritually expressing your connection with the Divine. I wish you well on your journey of discovery. May your right Spiritual Path find you.
