God lives in his creations. Throughout my life, I have been taught of God's love and Christ's sacrifice. I cling to these truths as if they were the air that I breathe. I realized, early in life, that there are many man made strings attached to acceptance in religious circles. Judgementalism runs rampant through churches.
False piety seems to rule the gossip driven memberships.
Of course, they veil it by referring to it as Christian concern, doctrinal issues, etc. God forgave my sins long ago. I may still be a long way from perfection, but I am working on it.
