I grew up in the Baptist Church. Southern Baptist at that, on my own volition at 13 years of age I walked up front of the Church to be Baptized and saved. I was an avid Bible reader when I was that age. I really read everything I could get my hands on when I was a kid. Being a military brat, we moved often and some churches just felt wrong to me. I began to understand some things about religion. Religion is fine, people are the problem. Some people come looking for answers, some come looking for a fight. The latter only understand the physical world–worldly people.Religion doesn’t fix the world. It enables your view of the world to create a very localized reality. As a Christian that is to be a co-creator with the words of Christ, of my reality. The Bible contains a lot. I still read it and I have concluded that all that matters are the red letters, the words of Jesus. I also follow the the historical tradition of observing significant Christian feasts and holy days in the red ink of the Episcopal Church Calendar.
