How to get closer to God by debipops

"Experienced various views..."

How I did it: I found that no matter what you believe, we all have the same idea of where we are headed.  I also found that organized 'religion' is not for me, too many hypocritical members with gossip and secrets. I can't consciously do wrong to fellow human being and then think that if I say sorry or recite a poem, it somehow makes it all better.  No! It still hurts others.   I found that God is one being to one group of people and another being to others. 

Lessons & tips: In the end, we all must be kind to one another, respect one another as well as this earth and we will eventually make a transition into another life.  So whether you call it God, Jehova, Buddah, Alah, El-Shaddai, Shangdi, Shen, Zhu, Bahá'ís, Yazad, Anah-aoshaka or Blueberry, knowing that there is a creator out there gives the world a sense of being and peace while here on earth and something to look forward to afterwards.

Resources: Christian churches, Pagan studies, Buddist forums, Wiccan socials and alternative web sites.

Noone is perfect

You sound like a nice person. You sound like someone much like myself, very sensitive. I don’t like to hurt people either. Where we differ is that I don’t believe in all of those false God’s. There is one God and one Savior. Jesus was hurt and even murdered for all of us. When we put our faith in him, there is no situation that we can not get through.We should pray for strength and peace of mind and learn how to feel good about ourselves. When we feel valuable, what others think don’t matter. I pity mean and hateful people. How unhappy they must be, to have to bring others down. As for organized religion, you do have a valid point there. Jesus also had the same problem, in fact, the major religious leaders of that time where who had him put to death. He overcame, so can we. Find a good church, and if people are mean quote some of God’s word at them. Remember God is with the ones that are right. You will be fine. Good Luck and God Bless…...
