Please bear with me while I lead up to my final point ... this isn't meant to be preaching. 8-) I sincerely feel, after much soul searching and comparing all world religions, that the true Word is directly written in our hearts (Jesus did say the origin of Good and Evil was within.) I say this not to "dis" anyone else's beliefs, because I believe we are each entitled to commune with God and Spirit the way each of us chooses. After all, when it comes down to brass tacks, there won't be anyone else around when we stand to get our life review. 8-) I am a Christian, but do not consider myself a "conventional" one. My beliefs are more "spiritual" than "religious." As my user name implies, I listen to the word in my heart rather than the words on a printed page. I choose not to follow any organized religion because I believe that my relationship with God and Spirit should be mine and mine alone. It is my responsibility to live my life the way I think is right. Because I feel that Jesus came here not to die for us, but to show us how to LIVE, there are so many images that (IMHO) would better represent Christianity while remaining within the TOS ... the nativity, the sermon on the mount, raising Lazarus, the Garden of Gethsemane, changing water into wine, the temptation in the desert. These are lessons and parables that mean much more to me than the crucifixion - because they teach me how to LIVE my life. OK, I'm off the soap box now ... I hope I didn't offend.
