Religion or Relationship
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 3:43PM Lately I have felt very stirred about this subject. So I have decided to write down some thoughts regarding my thoughts around Religion and Relationship. While this is not meant to be any sort of defining or definitive article on the subject, it's a chance for me to get some of my thoughts and ideas down on paper as I feel that I may revisit this many times.
Yesterday I received an e-mail from a friend of mine. We have known each other for 3 or 4 years I guess and while not close friends we are more than acquaintances. We met through a mutual friend and have hung out quite a few times, however we have never really dug into each other's personal beliefs. So anyway I had sent him a link to my blog as he is going to draw a new logo for it when he has the time (ha ha, yeah right, he's a college student!!!). After reading my blog he wrote back with the comment “I actually hadn't realized that you were so deeply religious.” While a harmless statement in and of itself, it actually bothered me a little. Now he meant nothing by it, but for me, I am a far way from deeply religious and it's this difference that I am trying to explore.

Excellent Tyrone. I couldn't agree more. The sooner we understand the whole purpose for the coming of Jesus was to put an end to religion, the more free we will be, and the more attractive our lives will become to others.
I completely agree with your thought, Tyrone. I thought they were really well put and very thought provoking. Thank you for putting this up. I needed to read it.
