There are times in life you have to realize that there is no common ground, where the differences are just too vast, where white is white and black is black, but the commonality between them is only that they are colors.
Dialoguing the finer intricacies of being in a religion or being outside of it, you will not find a place to stand in agreement, just that one is in and the other is out.
When you leave a religion and the folks who still remain, they can’t see why you left any more than you can see why they stay…and it doesn’t really pay to try and convince someone who is happy and content where they are.
It is far better to gather into your world things that bring you happiness, love, peace and joy. If theirs if found in their religion, let them be. And if yours is found outside of their religion, own it and play vigorously in the wide open spaces.
I keep bumping into folks who are in the cult like religion who are hell bent on convincing me it wasn’t cult like…while they still remain inside its strict rules or prison.
There is no way the two shall meet.
One is free and the other locked inside. Yet they have been convinced that it is their will to be there. However, most of their lives are dictated by the beliefs and guidelines of this faith, they are unable to live totally free. They are free within the confines of its walls.
All the dialoguing does is affirm the reasons why I left.
