Where religion is concerned, I think everyone should find what works for them, meaning whatever brings them closer to the God they know and brings them joy, love, and peace. No person has the right to judge, much less persecute another, and some branches of Christianity are famous for it.
I had to leave Christianity for a couple reasons. The first was for judging and condemning others, and the second was believing every non-Christian is going to hell. Jesus is Love. He loves everyone equally, not just those who follow Him. I’m glad you’re in a better place now, and if Christianity brings you peace and happiness, that’s great. I’m just sorry anyone ever feels the need to justify themselves. We’re all created by the same God, and He/she loves us all. I channel the Archangels, and this is their message.
