Bytee,

thank you for your post,

you say,

That was the point when I said to myself that I can't get my morality from this book because I (and you) are morally superior to the God described in the OT

mate, it's not your morality you get from the book (even though everyone's gunna say, What, but Buffet always preaches the law) it's your faith.

I was also raised Christian but fell away BIG TIME.

I found that there was nothing in Hedonism, believe me, I've tried, as you get older, you ask, what does it all mean then?

it is still possible for you to have a personal relationship with God, sometimes it takes a eureka moment, sometimes it takes an act of desperation and sometimes it's just realising that evolution is just plain stupid and we must have come from something or someone.

I have met some immoral Christians so I don't go to any church. I haven't been to church for 20 years, but I still study and pray.

maybe i'm wrong and maybe we will all end up as worm food, but my faith helps me sleep at night.

cheers.
