Abandoning christianity.
dusk arising said:

I can\'t tell you how much your words resound within me. My watershed was my beautiful daughter being born mentally handicapped overseen by this omnipotent god.

Since rejecting the falsness of christianity so much more spirituality has entered my life. My disbeliefs, in the christianity i grew up being taught, are bolstered by the likes of eloquent speakers such as Stephen Fry who are able to voice the subject far better than me.

Suresh said:

We are guilted in to believing, and then fear holds us captive.
Absence of these, we become truly liberated.

I feel for the \'journey\' you\'ve been on - seems like you\'ve arrived at the right shore - so pleased for you.

I just got caught up, distracted maybe with some forms of service - Pentecostal type - should I sit, stand, clap, bow, ump up and down, etc? Though it didn\'t seem to affect my basic beliefs.

orchidee said:

Some could be happy for you, and say \'Glad you\'ve left all that rubbish now\', but I feel the sadness in this.
In my hymn-poems, even if I might not trust in all I write, I feel there is a spark of faith, however small at times.
I can understand it though, with words such as \'Christ meets all my needs\', which can seem to mock you, and others.
Yet I go on writing about \'comfort\' etc - in the sense of \'solace\' and \'strengthen\'.

these words will sadden many of those who find them here... they are indeed sad.. however, I am sure that most will understand.... and there is nowt to forgive..... Sometime just unburdening oneself is a massive relief my friend........ Neville

Andy,

I like the way you think...
and write!
I guess most of us end up where we need to be! I never thought I’d be where I am right now, but here I am...
and will be as long as I’m needed!

My love to Joyce and to you!

dusk arising said:

That sir is a very good read. Immediately i thought of the book \"The road less traveled\" where i learned much.
Some might think that to write such a piece the author would be smug.... but no sir not you. Your writing reveals a very humble down to earth soul who has indeed traveled far spiritually.

Knowledges.
Seek said:

Yes those were the days when everything learned was new or a milestone, even the minor punishment had their functions. A true experience in growth that would come to build our reserves of wisdom. Enjoyed this.

We can\'t ask more than that in life - I also have ended in a good place but it doesn\'t happen by accident - we all have to work at it - enjoyed the write.

Well, there\'s many trees in the woods, we know, but I may mean some trees bigger than others. Doh!

orchidee said:

Good write Gold. It\'s tricky taking a path at a fork, if we\'ve not been along it before. Sometimes we may just head in a \'general direction\', e.g. in woods - look for the big tree; or group of 3 trees; or the holly bush, etc. as sign-posts.

Seriously, there is nothing better or more cherished than a poem for a new baby! (or anybody!) Great job Andy!

Reuben had a Brother.
dusk arising said:

Lucky Reuben has a younger brother,
How they\'ll laugh and play with one another,
He and Seth will Surely look up,
When they\'re standing tall and fully grown up.
To the cleverest dad and most wonderful mother.

well i just had to join in on hearing wonderful news.... welcome to this life baby Seth.

dusk arising said:

You\'ve lived through many changes and now, relaxed, reflective, rejuvenated (?) a stroll in dreamland... let it take you where it will....
.... where\'s the harm in it - but don\'t fall in the river.

Sometimes we just have to disappear into our own dreamworld just to get away for a bit!

I suspect it\'s only partly a dreamworld, and you\'re near to God still, seeing His works in His creation - and He near to you too :).
