Happy Easter everybody. I went to church today. Growing up Evangelical I've always felt just a little out of place. I think I may have figured out why today. The problem I have with my faith is that it is so exclusionary. According to the way I've been taught if you do not accept Christ as your personal saviour you by default serve evil and are therefore going to Hell. That kinda seems like a raw deal to me. That and the prospect of Holiness. The fact that there is this standard that we are told we will never achieve in our lifetime yet we are exhorted to pursue. It has all caused me an immense amount of uncertainty and worry. I often wish I could just let it go. I'm afraid though that it will always be working in my life and my mind.
