Reflecting on a comment by KoG ...
In your message describing your "fall from Christianity", you make the
comment:
I lost a lot of *close* friendships; the people are still my friends,
but there just isn't the same common ground.
Interesting. Isn't there more to close relationships than just the
"same common ground"? True love and closeness among living beings
surely transcends religious boundaries! Christian love does appear to
be conditional at times: "We love you, God loves you, but you're not
Christian, so ...". To me, this is the sickest form of rejection, and
it's often subtle.
As I read thru this newsgroup, I sense this is happening between some
of us. Fortunately, we all really know we love each other as the
spiritual beings we are. It's just the personality and ego clashes
which keep us from experiencing this love and unity.
