I can support & encourage one who is doubting the concept of religion. Support the DOUBT that is! There is so much nonsense in the bible, and from the pulpit, that one cannot begin to explain it here. Accordingly, I`d be most effective in fielding questions regarding, "... why should I (not) believe the old (and easily discredited) teachings about faith & religion?"
I worked for years as a counselor in a regional mental health center. I saw and helped hundreds of clients, from "adjustment reactions" to schizophrenia. Having excelled there, I moved on to other careers, utilizing my abilities to help hundreds more, and retire before age 50. Using my knowledge & experience, I raised 2 highly successful sons, and I'm currently the full-time devoted dad to my specially obtained precious 2-yr old.
This subject is important, yet often misunderstood. Through much experience, thought, study, and pain, I've arrived at a clear understanding of effective living that has remained intact & effective for years, through many challenges.
Having mastered the relevant concepts of effective living over 15 years ago, practiced & verified them in a variety of situations, I am satisfied with this level of achievment. I don't trouble myself or others with unnecessary concern about further change.
All religions are defective, and in a number of ways, dangerous. The best thing we can do to improve things for others, as well as our self, is to replace all the mythology with REALITY.
This subject (religion) is inherently controversial between many. Hence it provides the motivation for much of the strife & warfare throughout the history of civilization. Though it's not likely that any of us individually will have an earth-shaking impact, we can certainly improve & stabilize our own niche.
