Something I posted on another site 2010:
Quote:
I was just thinking of the hypocrisy I found in a lot of people in the church to my way of thinking, of course, not giving any thought to my own rebellion of all the 'thou shall nots' that I didn't want to adhere to.
If I could find fault with someone else, then I didn't have to look at me.
I love the spiritual part of the program. It doesn't matter what your religious belief may be, you can meet on common ground.
I highly dislike game playing, dishonesty, and self-righteous sinners. I don't even like the word sin. For me, sin means "Soul In Need" and it doesn't mean I was a bad person, it meant that I was a sick person trying to get better.
For so many years, I look for some person, place or thing outside of myself to make me feel better. Just in the saying, shows the insanity of the disease.
I am reminded of that verse, "He that is without sin, cast the first stone." Don't remember where it is found, I just know it is there.
I am so glad that my God is forgiving and His Love is unconditional.

The biggest problem was me, trying to figure it out and/or thinking I knew it all, after all I had been going to church all my life, who are you to tell me, that I don't know God.
