I Am Christian

I consider myself a christian, but sometimes I wonder just what kind of christian I am. I was part of a fundementalist denomination for many years, but found that I was frustrated when they ignored my husband and daughter (both disabled). I’m just so tired of it all though. Some of the meanest people I’ve met call themselves Christian. The nicest, most inclusive people I’ve met don’t consider themselves christian at all.

I miss some it though. The people to talk to, some of the friends I made. Anyone else feel like that?

I grew up in a fundamentalist church, but when I was about 30 I realized that the church was mainly an ego trip for the pastors, and that the infallible Bible that it was based on wasn't quite infallible... Then I started reading histories of the church and Christianity, and discovered some of the most despicable things imaginable.. so I'm done with it all...
I'm not exactly an atheist, though, but my definition of "God" is somewhat different to most people's...
