Mark we each have our own paths and yours based on nature and love is the natural way. It is a good positive attitude about right and wrong. You reason the morality on fact you experience which is truth. The church is not necessary to learn true morality or to save you when you are not even lost. The studies I have done over the years were a search for the truth. It was a self cleansing from heavy brainwashing by a Christian background that has harmed me greatly causing much unnecessary grief.

Mark, Well said. Your belief here is based upon inclusion and understanding. Very nice way of putting things in a nutshell. I applaud your thoughts. The reason you don't hear much about the Gnostics is because they approached God in the same way that you do, and were slaughtered for their efforts. If you are looking for a book that describes a practical method of developing the skill of seeing in this way, you might wish to look up "In Search of the Miraculous" by P.D. Ouspensky at Amazon. For me, it is a marvelous bridge of Gnostics, Christianity, Science, and teaches a way in which to search for our own truth. If you look it up, read the reviews. This book was very important for me in learning how to find my own truth. Peace, Darrin P.S. I can see the "Rot in Hell" messages being posted already. <grin>
