Is there a formal name for your church?

No church, just a ministry and a website.

Why did you turn from Christianity?
|
While I admired (and still do) the positive, uplifting messages that many religions offer, I found I could not accept the strict belief requirements most churches demanded of their followers before they were willing to accept that person into the fold. The notion of a personal yet supernatural god no longer made sense, and the multitude of churches who said that only they held the absolute truth exposed the lie for what it was.
I didn't turn away from religion, I grew past it. It is mired in superstition and beliefs that separate people from each other and from their planet. This I find offensive. So I've moved beyond the god concept and am attempting to show that we have value as individuals and deserve to enjoy life. Not because some god said so, but because we're all humans, and concern for one another does not have to rely on religion.
