Do not dare say my life needs repentance, nor do you have any reason to be an authority of anything sacred just because you are an expert at rehashing a book that has not been revised for thousands of years. God is certainly sacred, but if I have to read a certain book and attend certain ceremonies and listen to someone else explaining to me which part of the old book to follow, I don't deserve to know the real God. We humans have evolved year after year. There were times we didn't even have airplanes flying in the sky, but somehow that has become a norm. People have learned to fly, which is a new form of transportation that hasn't existed before. Yet, you're dealing with a book definition of God that probably has not been updated or included any new findings for thousands of years. I give my due respect to God every day and cherish it as if it's the last moment I've been given by God. And I welcome any challenge and graciously accept any setbacks as moments I'm being tested by God. It didn't require solely the Bible to come to this conclusion, nor do I require any assistance to live true to the essence of God. God is within and around us. You are part of him, and I am part of him. All of the little creatures you touch are part of him, as are the plastic bags and cigarette butts. At each moment of your life you are surrounded by God itself and we are merely separated perspectives that will find their ways home after the journey is done. I don't expect you to agree with me, but you are living life as if someone else's supposed experience with God to be the only truth while I continue to evolve my definition of God. Needless to say, the definition I gave of God is subject to revision and updates as I experience more of life.
