Just make sure that you take assumptions. I mean, don't assume that because you believe there is a God, then Jesus is God as well.

So my religious story started out with nothing ... then 'christian'. I believed that there was a creator and just assumed that Jesus was God as well. This caused ALOT of heart ache because no one explained to me that you can believe in one and not the other. Then I figured out why chrisitanity wasn't working for me and dropped the label.

At the moment I believe that God is the universe, He/She/It is everything and everywhere. I think all religions have a different perspective on God but none of them are wrong. They are just looking at different aspects of God.

This has bought me peace and it's given me understanding and self confidence. I no longer have the fear of what will happen to me because I don't believe in Jesus, which was the main reason why I was trying to force myself to believe that he is 'here' today.
