L. Louise I was listening to a Christian radio station the other day. It was one of those proselytizing justification songs. The song was from a fundamentalists perspective. As a former fundamentalist I knew exactly what he meant. But now that I have gone beyond fundamentalism, I find myself asking a lot of questions.
Nothing is really black and white.
If you can see shades of gray, then you have to be able to tolerate ambiguity. God gave us the ability to think and reason. To know God is to love God. But everyone relates to God through their own mind and the concepts that have been created throughout childhood and personal experiences. To substitute an accepted list of rules or even an agreed upon set of social mores for the true search of the Almighty, is a cop-out.
