Gosh so me!!
You left the church not God, because in this church you will find lot's of blasphemy, hypocrisy, attitude that annoys you and leaves you wonder if these people really serve god and follow his ways!
And this does not tally with the way you want things to be in the church of God! Sometimes my friends call me pagan,lol, I agreed a little bit but I know deep down inside of me,my soul belongs to god, my spirit praises him, I adore him and admire his beautiful works and creature!.
And still I have the fear of God in me because each time I want to do something bad, I would be stopped either by my commotions in my mind beating me up already for what I haven't done yet or am adviced!
Funny enough those people that call me pagan or whatever aren't more godly than I am, no am not a saint lol but that's true, you find them doing things that you ask yourself is she a Christian?
This is a thought provoking post by the way, very interesting!
I'm lead all the way from @dreemport!
Ciao bellisima
Hahaha... You made me remember one of favorite Sunday School teacher usually warned us to not be the christian that those who do not go to church nor believe in God will look upon and feel they are better than them in any way.
It's sad.
Thanks for reading.
