When I minister to folks, especially in groups, I want them to first understand that I am not trying to convert them to some organized religious belief. My intent is to have them consider their faith in themselves. You must be able to have faith in yourself before you can truly have faith in anything else. I would rather you not leave the church and abandon all faith. God is not responsible for the actions of man and, therefore, is not responsible for the actions of a church which deigns it proper to speak on God's behalf, to explain what an omnipotent God really means to say, as if God requires human interpretation of those ten very easy commandments instructing us in what to do, or do not. I can make it easy for those who have trouble understanding God. Just do the right thing. It was never intended to be difficult, which is why God made it so simple.
