Well, I don't like putting a name to beliefs. Like with christians, there are so many dominations that it's just silly. I am a christian but i am not a fan of organized religion. Actually, more like new-age christian.
The whole organized religion thing turns into one man telling a whole group of people what to get out of the bible. And that ain't good. A person should be able to think for themself. I've seen some sermons that have preachers actin just like Hitler. A preacher should not bash. The only good thing about church is the worship. Music lifts the soul.
I see the bible as a resource. history is something to be learned from. There are a lot of great lessons to be learned from the bible.
But i also believe the earth, nature, the resource god lent us holds powers beyond the visible. One should open their mind and get more out of life than just what some "evil" bashing b*****d has to say.
