I have totally realized that God lives within the soul and not in a building. That in and of itself has brought me closer to him. By following my heart I am following God. I by no means am perfect, in fact far from it, but I am at more peace with who I am. That I genuinely a good person Even if I can still be an asshole from time to time, guess thats just being human.
You can burn down all the churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. because God lives in your heart and tools in your soul.
