"I don't believe in the God that sits on a throne, that expects us to look up while He looks down.
I believe in the one that's in the wind. The one that whispers things in the dead of night when you can't sleep. The one that kisses you first thing in the morning with a view of the sun and the song of a bird. I believe in the one that nudges you in the moment, that accepts you for who you are deep down inside.
I don't believe in the God that the churches sell."
~ The Asylum Confession: Murder & Madness
How refreshing a take. I say I'm not religious, at all. But I do believe there must be a higher power. Something or someone who we must believe in to have any hope. But I definitely don't believe in the God that every other religion sells. I don't believe their salesmen are to be trusted. I don't believe God is confined inside four walls, under lock & key. I don't believe that you can only ever experience their presence inside the various sales offices around the world that religious salesmen guard and speak of. If there's a God, they are out in the open, they're non-judgmental, they're accepting. But if what the salesmen say is the truth, then the God they speak of isn't God to begin with.
