This was a large sign I saw coming back from Palm Springs along Interstate 215 or 15 heading back towards San Diego the other day. I had to laugh because this is a very very "California" way of seeing things where people are a lot more likely to be "Spiritual but not Religious".
Why?
Because God is likely the most personal experience you are ever going to have in your life and churches often interfere with this most precious thing you ever will experience. So, I view churches as a form of rape or even sexual molestation of children in a way.
Because they are interfering with these children's direct and precious experience with God. God is not in a book, God is a direct experience and if you are not having a direct experience with God 24 hours a day every day of your life then if you are in a church likely you are being brainwashed and from my point of view being molested by people who want your money and property and really don't care about you at all no matter what they tell you.
So, God for me is looking up into the stars at night into the Milky way Galaxy. It is going to Yosemite National Park where you can actually talk to God directly while walking along a stream or river or up trails into the mountains there. God is walking around Mt. Shasta or walking along a beach during a sunrise or Sunset.
God to me has nothing to do with any church at all on earth of any religion. Churches are a gathering place for people of a similar belief but that doesn't mean this has anything to do with God at all (at least on a personal one on one level with God.
My personal experience is God is likely to be in a church about 1% of the time or less.
What most people experience in churches isn't really God it is the group astral creation of the people who go to that church. It is their group beliefs of what God is. BUT, this may not be your relationship to God at all.
So, for me, going to a church would be the last place I would go to find God. my first choice is to be in "Wild Nature" in Wilderness areas with wild things all around.
So, a church is the last place I would go to find God or clarity.
But, then again I grew up in California and the western States where people tend to think this way more because wildness still exists here a lot.
By God's Grace
