I can certainly resonate to your general belief in a Cosmic Force, as well as your (very nicely put, BTW!) not being able to identify with a lot of what's in the Bible.

I was born a Catholic, my mother became a Congregationalist when I was a child, and I grew up in a church that accepted doubt and uncertainty. I remember at thirteen, asking my minister if I had to believe that Christ was the one and only son of God or if I'd qualify as a Christian if I saw Him as symbolic and much of the Bible as parable.

I know my church is one of the more liberal of the Christian sects -- we've been open and affirming toward gays for a long time. It is possible to be a Christian and hold a number of the tenets a little more loosely.

OK, I've really gotta go. Lots of work to do.

Enjoy the afternoon.
