hey questioner
interesting topic. the problem ive found with churches in general is
that people always seem to want you to believe some doctrine
entirely. that is basically impossible for me. there is nothing that i
believe entirely. i believe parts of a lot of different things. however i
find that im not free to express who i am without people becoming
uncomfortable because i am challenging their belief systems. so rather
than make someone uncomfortable i just dont participate in any
church on a regular basis.
the ideal church for me would be somewhere where christ is taken
seriously and yet without dogma, where u could talk about reincarnation
if you wanted too and where holy communion was served . also it
would have to be very egalitarian as i dont consider anyone my spiritual
superior or inferior. so far i havent found it and i doubt that i will lol
so i continue to walk my own unique path
