This is simply not true.

41 years old, devout christian as a child. Thrown to the wolves, neglected, ignored, bullied, and then developed homosexual feelings against my own dreams of being a good devoting christian.

I've had a long and tortured life, in spite of all the work and soul searching and seeking out "God".

No benefits here. Nothing but pain and trauma.


What do you tell people who have fought their entire lives to gain sanity, connection, spirituality, and love and failed?

And what do you tell 3 year old children in Africa who die of AIDS? Did they deserve their suffering?

I can't believe in a God that designs a universe to make innocent people suffer.

for those interested in research, history, religion, mythology, theology, psychology...
for those who search for wisdom, knowledge, and truth...
for those willing to invest the time...

i recommend the "Mystery Babylon" series by William Cooper.

i also highly recommend anything by Joseph Campbell
(co-creator of Star Wars according to George Lucas).
especially if you can get your hands on "The Power of Myth".
