I have officially listed my religion as Pantheist on Facebook. Everything is god and god is everything. No doubt this will spin those out who already doubt my sanity. My mother is a raving pantheist with me and my father, so we are all a family of freaks. I like it. There is no church but nature itself. No deity but you and those around you. Worship those you love and stop competing with people for you are only competing against yourself.
I think recycle bins are the new offering plates to the Universe. Clean up, stop being an arsehole and leave something nice for your kids to play in when you leave this mortal coil.
Really though, I left religion behind when I found out that women couldn't be leaders of the church. I was 6 at the time. What the hell? I would never take my daughter to a church where their was no place for her in it in her future, other than doing the flowers and making plates of sandwiches for the worshippers to scoff down after the service! That is why I am always surprised when strong women follow certain religions that will not allow them to show their strength and lead in worship.
People always ask me what religion I am and when I say "Nothing, I am spiritual", they don't understand. Small minds need small compartments to pop you in so everything is neatly stored in their worlds. Now I have an answer. I am a pantheist. Can't wait to throw this one at certain peeps who think I need an 'carefrontation!' Gandalf cannot stop laughing, bless him! He is the biggest pantheist I know, along with the poster boy for pantheism, Albert Einstein.
"Albert and Gandalf sitting in a tree, kissing in a tree."
