    This is my problem with Most Christians

    I feel your pain and I know what you're talking about. The fundies and evangelicals distort or misrepresent my liberal and Universalist interpretation of the faith. On behalf on all Christians, I apologize for those people who chose to be willfully ignorant or condemn those of other faith...

    If I were to reformat the Commandments in a more accessible format, I would incorporate Jesus's two central commandments of loving God with all being and loving others as you love oneself, alongside George Carlin's two commandments of thou shalt always be honest and faithful.

    Southern Baptist leader says Christians should avoid yoga

    I have done Yoga as a spiritual discipline and exercise for six years. Yoga relaxes me, deepens my breathing, expands my flexibility and it deepens my relationship to God.
