Interesting Exercise
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 12:48 pm
As long as I can remember, I’ve always been a doubter.
Since I’ve been an adult, I’ve had the nagging feeling that religion in general, and organized churches in particular, have caused more harm than good. At the very least, I’ve felt that in the modern age, they’re a bit backwards and unnecessary.
...
What I’m looking for is religious leaders (pastors, priests, imams, rabbis, etc.) who preach something that I consider to be ethical and moral, using the following criteria:
Being good to your fellow human.
...
Help your community
...
Be good to yourself
...
Good and timely advice
...
Not through grace. I know that Christians like to talk a lot about grace, but I’m talking about deeds. I’m looking for a religious institution that encourages good deeds.
I’m going to visit a religious place or two each weekend, and write about my experiences.
