Tuesday: As a child, I went to a "Bible School" once a week, after school.

In some ways it was a wonderful experience. The ladies who taught it, were wonderful people. It usually dealt with a sort of kid's version of a sermon... and then some singing.. then some arts n crafts. However, I remember a few times, when this singing/sermon would end up in them "speaking in tongues" .. for a 12 yr old, this was actually quite alarming, and it is actually one of the things I remember most.

I personally am quite anti-organized religion. I sometimes think it was because of this childhood experience.

However, I believe that whatever each of chooses to believe, to help us get through this world, is what should be.

Personally, I guess I'm more of a "naturist" (if that is even an acceptable term). This isn't I suppose, about what we personally believe, but I would say that I feel God is all around us. God is nature. God is the air. God is whatever gives everything LIFE. I don't believe that God is at all human like. There isn't a God that sits in judgement, to me. To me, the whole judgement thing comes from "fate" in general. I Do believe what "comes around, goes around"

Hmm, I seem to have forgotten what my point is.

I guess I'm at a disadvantage in that since I don't subscribe to any "organized religion" (I was brought up "Baptist" though), so I don't have any "WORDS" to support me.

I guess the subject of "speaking in tongues" brought some "interesting" memories to me. I think, looking back on it, I feel it was quite irresponsible of them to allow this sort of thing to happen, in front of a bunch of children. I think it had a LOT to do with my current reluctance to accept any form of "organized" religion.
