Entry 30 To begin with, I was a good Christian. I believed in God, the trinity, Heaven
and Hell. Then I decided to quit believing in a devil. How does a god so good
allow for something so evil? Especially Without a devil, howver, the Idea of a God fell apart. Why is there a god, at least a Drivingly good god, without a devil? so I abandoned god in favour of deist (clockmaker) like belief. This happened my Sophmore (High school) year. I couldn't explain creation without a god. I became imersed in Indian lore that year, also, and began to believe their legends, and temporarily switched religions again. But there was no motivation, and I lost it. Then I began to read about Celts, Romans, and the Druids. Something inside me "awakened", and I dropped any thought of Christianity, and Embraced Druidism. Druidism didn't fall apart when I examined it without the aspects I found difficult to swallow, such as human sacrifice and some of the legends. Shamanism is compatable with my belief system, and it is also a good way to communicate with my gods. Do christians receive answers directly from their God? Are Christians able to accept other religions? Can the regular Christian, Jew, or Muslim tell you what their religion is about, whether their god is benevolent or vengeful? Can christians honestly say they are following the guidelines set down by Christ if there have been more centuries of bloodshed and corruption than true following in the Church? I do not mean to attach any other religon, but instead furnish my reasons for
leaving Christianity.
