that isn't a bad thought, OC.

I would like to say I have a belief that God exists. But, I am not so sure I can really put stock in the idea that there is one patriarchal god. It doesn't feel right to me. That may be the effects of the fundie crap I was steeped in all my life talking. I have to do some serious soul searching, I suppose. I am prepared for that, as I have been searching for a long time (at least 10 years or so) but, I have not been able to concentrate on it, like I can now.

Ok, if you insist on assigning some sort of paradigm to your faith in an etheric entity why not just take the time simply explore your senses and experiences? Is there really any need to let someone else's lack of knowledge of your senses and experiences color what you feel?

There's no more guarantee that they are any more right than you are.
