I think I heard the call when I was about twelve years old. I decided that the only honorable way to live my life was to become a heretic. In this day and age, everyone should become a heretic and listen to that voice inside that tells you the difference between right and wrong.

Most of what passes for Christianity today is a far cry from what the early Christians believed. Learning about the Cathars in Southern France did it for me. I knew that no modern church could claim to be righteous when the foundation of the church was built on genocide. Politicians gained control of Christianity a very long time ago.

Funny how politics and religion always boil down to one and the same.

Fundamentalists are just power hungry freaks that want to control the lives of others so that they can profit from their misery.

Regardless of your religion, start looking at the history of your church and ask questions about how they are investing your weekly offering. You'd be surprised!
