OneCoolGod @ University Circle UMC

The often glibly spoken thought is that “we all worship the same God.” This is just not true. The God who would willingly send pain, suffering and death on his/her children as a test of our loyalty, a punishment for a lack of obedience, or some twisted notion to teach us a lesson or to stick with a divineplan for us is just the product of unfortunate human thinking. It is, among other things, an effort to secure power and authority for institutional religious systems.
