I was born into the Catholic Faith, and studied it every day through sixth grade. As I began to question certain aspects of the bible(s) I was punished by my teachers, and eventually left for Public school.
Here I began to learn science....so much for Catholic Dogma (my school was extremely strict on the validity of the Bible) and I began to disike all the bible stood for. Time and wisdom turned me back to a search for meaning, and a study of the eastern myths, and eventually to Buddhist teachings. I have since decided to read all religious scripts I can get hold of....and from this have developed my own understanding of what "GOD" means. It is truly my own....and I have learned to keep it to myself for the most part.
In all my reading, studies and communications with persons of faith , one thing has stood out in my mind.......they are all correct in what they believe...and so am I.
