My parents have always been god fearing people and something would have been wrong if there were no gospel, sermons or singing during my Honeymoon visit. Being in America however, has been a completely different kettle of fish than the UK. The TV channels are littered with gospel channels with thousands of people searching for someone to guide them on the path that will take them straight to Jesus. I use the word littered literally as a lot of them talked a lot of horseshit and most of the programmes looked like God fearing versions of Ricky Lake! The large, packed auditoriums with ministers waving bigger ego’s than glory itself. They march up and down the stage, dipping, screaming, waving there ares to make sure their ‘message from god’ is force fed with guaranteed indigestion. Lapping up the adoration of the 1000's of fans. Not the congregation? The fans. Unfortunately this is an area where people are vulnerable and in the wrong hands I suspect that a lot of these ‘leaders’ are in it for the money and the fame and not the spiritual well being of their flock. Reams of people getting ‘in the spirit’ black and white I might ad! During our car journey home, a preacher was screeching and carrying on on the radio about the satanic practise of homosexuality. He rabbited on for ages while I roiled my eyes in the back and bit my tongue. I couldn’t stand much more of it so I asked mum to play the tape that was there. Still more God fearing screaming but at least I would not have to listen to the arse hole who was on before. This preacher who is so adamant and aggressive about the demonic wrongs of homosexuality probably takes it up the arse anyway!!

I did the same dude.. its all about whats in your heart and not what some numbskull thinks is best for you. How can he this preacher know whats best for you when he can never REALLY know you. we all have a responsiblity to take care our spritual well being and that is no one elses friggin business but there own! Maybe some people need more guidence than others but ultimately it is down to each individual person to take stock of their choices and not rely on another human being to tell them what's going on. Its all about tuning in, listening and then rocking out on what you feel is the good path... right?

I agree totally, I follow my own brand of spirituality, i try to do the right thing and being told how to think goes against the grain for me.

I got so fed up with religion that I started my own. Just me and the Creator We understand each other perfectly. No need to shout about anything we just let the world get on with it and stick to our private thoughts. If we are all here to do good for others . What are the others doing? Keep happy ED (spiritbird)
