I have been a church goer all my life (a methodist). I don't beleive in everything they do but it has been the best moral compass I could find. So I live by the Golden Rule amoung other things.

I the past year I read the book The Power of Now by Ekart Tolle. It has really opened my eyes and now I understand why I go to church, what peace is and what Jesus, Budda and other prophets were in touch with that others were not.

Thing is, this is not a relegious book. In fact I am reading his second book and he so far has almost said that organized religion is not even necessary.

To sum it up I look to the church for ways to see inside myself. Look into my soul and find peace. I feel my inner energy and from that flows abundance. From that abundance comes the things that I can use to live by the golden rule. I can find some true joy this way. It can rub off.
