What is your religion doing to you?

Some judgmental Christians are working hard to add others to their ranks. They have the right doctrine and the right beliefs [so they say] and they want others to come join them in their righteous journey. Unfortunately these groups are too often based in self-righteousness and judgmentalism...

Jesus spoke to the Pharisees in Mt 23
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

So what is your religion doing to you? If it is not making you more kind, more open, more friendly, more gracious, more welcoming, and more loving, then it is time to move on. Time to find a new path.

The way of Jesus is the way of love. If you want to follow Jesus, the path of judgment must be set aside so that you can get on and follow the path of love.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
