I used to align myself solidly with the Baptist doctrines and the stricter lifestyle of some Baptists. I even went to the point of wearing headcoverings, no pants, no jewelry, etc. BUT...
My eyes were opened to the hypocricy of MOST of those who were like me. I cannot seem to turn my back completely on the basic doctrine of heaven and hell and how to get there. Beyond that I no faith in the strict practice of any religion. For now I guess the golden rule could be the basic compass in my life. "Do unto other's as you would have do them unto you." But that does not exclude me harming another person in defense of myself or loved ones. It just means that I will treat other's with the respect and concern that I would want, until they earn my disrespect.
