over the years and they almost destroyed my belief in God. Religion is really the cause of so much harm in the world yet somehow it continues to thrive.
On the other hand, a spiritual journey is important in life if we are to have any sense of security. I know many people have no spiritual focus and that’s their decision and I respect it. However, when I look at the beauty of the world, the magnificence of the universe, the miracle of life itself, then I find I need a spiritual connection.
So as we enter into this new year, I celebrate the wonders of the universe and give thanks that my journey has a sense of purpose and meaning. I may not fit into some peoples religious ideals and because of that, I am very happy. Just Say'n

I am reminded of Sam Clemen's response on religion, "So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: "Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is." Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code."
