Odd things

Yesterday, right after I posted I came across a blog by Julia Sweeney. She has a new recording out called "Letting go of God". SO I spent quite a lot of time reading her blog and then the forum, and it was very interesting reading. My first inclination was to think she was right, and I had to sort of smash it down to allow myself to listen to me for a change. Not everyone else.

Here is my interpretation of god. I don't envision this entity as having any real form, or any anthropomorphic qualities. I just need to feel like there is a there, there, when I am praying. I am not even sure what I do is actually praying. I believe that there is only one of them, whatever it is. I believe that nature, earth, sky, air and god are all the same thing. I believe that science is completely compatible with my creator. If it is held that god is responsible for all, then it stands to reason that it is also responsible for knowledge given.

One of my big pet peeves with organized Christianity is that God is supposedly responsible for all good, but evil is out of his hands. If god is responsible for all, then god gives the scientists the knowledge they have. It works for me.

I believe that a wiccan spell is just a different for a prayer. It is a request for what is needed. It is simply put into a different form that an on your knees kind.

But, while these are what I am currently believing, I am open to new ideas. I can't see myself ever being very religious, but I do feel like I need a bit more meaning in my life. However that happens.
