There is no such thing as a good hand-me-down religion. To be vital, to be the best of which we are capable, our religion must be a wholly personal one, forged entirely through the fire of our questioning and doubting in the crucible of our own experience of reality. ~ Peck, M. Scott. The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth (p. 182). Touchstone. Kindle Edition.
Give me that old-time religion
Give me that old-time religion
Give me that old-time religion
Its’ good enough for me!
It will take us all to heaven
It will take us all to heaven
It will take us all to heaven
Lord it’s good enough for me*
How do you understand God?
How comfortable are you
in creating the God of Your Understanding?
Is He/She a wholly personal one,
forged entirely through the fire
of your questioning and doubting
in the crucible of your own experience of reality?
Do you feel like you’re cheating
to choose your own idea of God?
*traditional gospel song
