I'm a non-denominational Christian. I haven't been to church for a few years, I believe that I don't need to go to a priest or attend church to have a strong connection with God. I can do it on my own without any medium.
I saw Anne Rice in an interview saying it wasn't the people who are bad and made her leave, it was her own personal beliefs and morals that influenced her decision. Instant respect for her saying that. It seems like whenever someone leaves religion (or any organization) they blame it on the people in that religion. People are fucked no matter what they believe, so that argument doesn't fly with me.
I pick and choose what I want to believe in from the different branches of Christianity. I'm pro-choice (read: pro-abortion), so that's one place where I differ from the church. Divorce is acceptable, sex before marriage I'm a fan of, and I support gay marriage. The defining factor of Christianity is believing in the Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. My theory is that as long as I believe in that, I'm a Christian and I'll recieve the benefits I'm told of by the Bible and Christian theory. I guess I'm more on the left/liberal side of Christianity.
