I have had a wild ride in terms of religion. I was born Christian and then somehow my family turned Atheist, though I always maintained I believe in God in prayer. I always turned to God in my darkest moments.
I met my ex who is Muslim and ended up converting because a lot of the things I’ve read about Jesus not being the son of God and Jesus, not being God made a lot of sense to me .
However, there were still some parts of islam that I did not necessarily agree with .
I still have a very strong belief in God, and one God. I believe that praying to God is very important, and I do believe in evil as well, but I believe there’s many methods and ways to protect yourself from that evil, and to connect with God, not necessarily one specific religion .
I also believe in energy and I believe in the soul and I’m learning Reiki and I don’t believe that it’s satanic .
I’ve been rejected by the Christian community for that reason, I also don’t really fit in with the Muslim faith or community. Now that I’m divorced.
But I do want a sense of community for my kids. I went to church with my friend and I couldn’t get over how they kept saying Jesus was God so in my search for answers I came across Unitarianism.
And then I saw that there’s a church near me and I’m really considering bringing my kids there !!!
I don’t know how my ex would feel about that because he wanted the kids raised Muslim. But I guess he doesn’t even have to know?
Anyways, that’s besides the point it seems like they have a great program for kids which teaches them all about religion and different religions .
Anyways, does it sound like I would be a good fit for this ministry or religion ?
