I don't understand how worshipping Jesus instead of God is not idolatry... Granted, he is (symbolically) the 'sun of god' (see what I did there?) so sure, I guess I could see that. I don't plan to fully flesh this out, but it was on my mind due to some reading and once I blurted it out I thought oh what the hay. But my religious views are not something I discuss in depth with anyone. I have a strict set of personal beliefs that I describe as a conglomeration of the full pantheon of religions combined with a splash of philosophy, history, and magic. (Although the argument could be made that wicca and other forms of witchcraft are considered religions, which is true, for the purposes of dramatic flair I included it as a separate entity.) Anywho. When asked, I will say I am Christian. But when I say Christian, I do not think it means what you think it means. I am a Christian deist (Methodist) and follow the religious and philosophic principles of transcendentalism. There is so much more to it than that and so many other parts encompassed, but there isn't a name for it other than ALy-ness and I'm not going to explain to you what that means. I don't know that I could even if I wanted to. Which is how it should be. Forcing your beliefs or trying to make someone believe the same things as you because you have the audacity to assume that your evangelism can improve their lives. What do you know about their lives? Our lives? Nothing. So stop using religion as an excuse to brain wash people or do terrible things. Ahem. Well then.
I've included some links so you can educate yourself if you are so inclined, but otherwise let's move on.
