Many people can go through trauma - initially through the experience of growing up in the Christian Religion, and later through the experience of breaking away from it.
The trauma sometimes means that people move from a pro-Christian worldview to an anti-Christian worldview.
I rejected Christianity very early in life. It took me many, many years before I un-rejected it.
This doesn't mean that I adopted Christianity again - definitely not. But I can now appreciate the good things about Christianity - both the teaching and the institution, while maintaining my criticisms of both.
I am very much interested in the Bible as a quasi-historical document also loaded with myths. I like to interpret the symbolic mystical knowledge of many of these myths. (But some myths are just na"ive collective creations originating in early societies without the benefit of modern science or the culture of critical thinking). It is 'mystical' or 'hidden' precisely because the message is symbolic - not to be taken literally. I feel sure the majority of people of two and three thousand years ago understood these stories in their symbolic form and would possibly be amused at the present day literal interpretation.
These days I like to draw from many religions, cosmologies and philosophies. I am now comfortable talking of 'God'. But now my interpretation of God is not so much a personified God, but a God that represents 'All is One', a Godhead, a Source.
I have read many comments in thus forum where people talk about an indifferent universe, as opposed to a caring God that knows each and every person personally. But while accidents and misfortune do occur for no apparent reason, the mystical experience, the experience of Enlightenment, the state of Higher Consciousness - however you wish to describe it - shows us that All is Good (hence the expression which has come into popular usage in the last decade or so - 'it's all good').
'All you need is Love', 'Love is the fabric of the Universe.' Perhaps many who have recently rejected Christianity who perhaps now see themselves as aetheists, or non-theists may not agree with the Love thesis.
Sometimes I utilise a personified God simply because I have no better alternative! For example, I like to say 'Grace' to 'God' or 'the Lord' before meals (not always) because I like to acknowledge my own gratitude in a humble manner (I don't recite, I speak authentically each time from the heart). I could thank the Universe or the Divine Spirit, but God is much simpler.
Similarly I like to pray - to put it out there, and again to show my gratitude. It is a way to transcend the ego. A year or so ago I was not able to say Grace or pray to God because of my rejection of Christianity. Now I can do it knowing that there is no personal God and knowing I am not a Christian.
I am not a Christian because my experience tells me there is no such thing as Evil, and most likely no such thing as Hell.
(When my very Christian mother-in-law sincerely referred to my beautiful daughter as 'evil' to me and in front of her - my daughter was 9yrs at the time - I knew then that something was definitely wrong with the concept, the religion, and the mother-in-law!)
There are certainly some terrible acts committed by some very freaky people in the world but each one of these people and acts has a story which can help us understand why such terrible acts came about. Labelling them as 'evil' diverts us from the story and the understanding, and therefore the lesson and the potential to help prevent such terrible behaviour in the future (eg in a more loving, caring and enlightened society).
It is perhaps this view above all others - no Evil and no Hell - that distinguishes me from Christians. I have had some good conversations with Christians of late. Perhaps I have sewn some seeds of doubt?
And although I criticise the Catholic view on contraceptives (here in the Philippines it is an effort to track down a condom. Many pharmacies, presumably under the thumb of the Catholic Church, do not sell condoms) and where we draw the line on abortion, and stem cell research, and a host of other issues, and although Christianity has a lot to answer for back in history, I can also appreciate that it has helped promote admirable values and virtues in most countries around the world. Yes, a common sense of decency and set of values can be achieved in a community without any religion - Christianity does not have a monopoly on virtue. But I can see where it has had a positive impact.
As most people would agree even on this forum - the basic set of principles ascribed to Jesus of Nazareth - constitute a darn good philosophy on how to lead one's life (love, compassion, forgiveness, service, charity, help the poor, etc etc).
The Buddhists don't believe in God (but for a culture that doesn't believe in God they sure do seem to do a lot of praying! - or maybe it is just reciting mantras). The Dalai Lama talks of Love and Compassion.
To me 'compassion' speaks of pity. Of course it also speaks of understanding and empathy. Understanding and empathy are wonderful virtues. But perhaps we should talk of Love and Caring. The Universe may be indifferent, but if Human Civilization were more Caring, then a part of the Universe at least would be less indifferent!
So when you reject Christianity be sure you do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead of 'opting out,' you can 'transcend' Christianity. That is, take the best of what Christianity has to offer as well as what you also know from science, from the social sciences, from other religions and philosophies, and from your own experience, and use that to find your source of Love and Caring, and to then set about emanating Love and Caring, and making your contribution to humanity in whatever way feels best for you.
Have you found Love?
"Now that we've found Love what are we gonna do - with it?!"
In Peace, Love and Light,

Well, not exactly.The Bible says, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." So there must be tears... in Heaven.Why? What would there be to cry about in a perfect place where there is no more sickness, no more death?Between the Rapture of the church and the physical return of Jesus to Earth, there's this little-preached-about thing called the Bema Seat - or the Judgment Seat of Christ. It's when we Christians will find out the true value of everything we have done (and not done) as Christians. We may even be surprised at who we see there! (if we even notice the presence of anyone else at all...)1 Corinthians 3:11-15 talks about this time of reckoning. It is NOT a time when we will find out who goes to Heaven and who goes to hell. This is "for Christians only."I believe it will be a time when many of us - I daresay most of us - will be very surprised at what awaits us. Those of us who think we have done well in this life may find that our reward was all down here in the praise of men or even in the satisfaction of doing good deeds ("it feels good to be good"), and therefore, little or no reward may await us. Those of us who don't think our lives have amounted to much on Earth may discover that our little dark corner where we have slogged away in obscurity, illuminates with far more lavish reward than we ever dreamed imaginable. The secret, the determining factor, is in the fire of God: the purifying, motive-revealing fire. Please understand that it is not PEOPLE who will pass through the fire, but WORKS. Our sins, past, present, and future, have already been placed under the Blood. There will be no "confession", no "repentance", no "redemption" needed. He will show us what really was, and what could have been. There will be nothing left for us but to accept His perfect plan for us, His decision on what rewards await us for the rest of eternity. Read with me the words of Paul, inspired by the Spirit of God:11For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. 14If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. 15If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.(NASV)What a day that will be! There are probably going to be lots of us who weep in remorse because of lost opportunities to reach out, wasted efforts in religious pursuits, and impure, selfish motives in what we may have considered "our ministry." There will be no escaping the truth, no rationalizing our behavior. "All things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." (Heb 4:13)Before we succumb to the temptation to say to ourselves, "Well then,... we'd better get busy!" that is not what this is about. This is about - as it always is with God - relationship. It's about being so busy doing the work of the Lord that we forget the Lord of the work. It's about Jesus waiting by the hearth of our lives, waiting to meet with us and spend time with us by the fireplace, enter our innermost dark corners and illuminate and warm them with Himself, free us from the chains of our pasts and cause us to realize how deeply He loves us. Once we realize this, our natural spiritual response will be to love Him back! That love will naturally spill over into our daily lives and touch the people with whom we come in contact - just like a beam of light pierces through the darkness. We will make a difference - for Him. Through Him. Because of Him.Not for reward. Not for crowns or jewels... or anything else except the constant awareness of His presence inside of us, transforming us, loving and working through us.He is desperate for us to let Him know us, to let Him into our innermost places and accept His love and His grace to live every day in His anointing. Not "for the rest of my life." Just every day, while it is still called Today.So the question that tells me if I am living progressively in that lifestyle is: am I looking forward to the Bema - the Judgment Seat of Christ - or not?
