[quote=Anonymous]I think the messages I took away from my religious instruction growing up actually made me first feel like a failure as a Christian and then stop believing in God for about 15 years. Here's what I wish I had understood: If you are a Christian, God doesn't magically fix all your flaws. God is the force that helps you keep trying to be a better person. It can be a very slow process. Not hearing something you can definitely identify as the voice of God when you ask for help doesn't mean there's not a God. I don't believe God changes the physical world, but praying can help us find the strength to help others and get through grief and hard times. If we expect God to heal Grandma, stop parents from fighting, etc. we are bound to be disappointed. I think the most important message is to help others and be kind. [/quote]
