I left the church because I got tired of being told I was guilty. Guilty of what? Jesus said God is our father. Well I am a father but I never laid a guilt trip on our Son. You love your children, so sometimes thay might disappoint you, but you don't stop loving them. He also told us to love our neighbours as ourselves. Well If I don't love myself I sure as hell can't love anyone else. Sure there are a few warts, but she loves me so there must be some good in me, and she is my life. So we both sort of said bye, shook the dust from our sandles so to speak, and try to live our lives quietly and decently.
