Listen: God is bigger. He is bigger than any religious building. He is bigger than man's interpretation of him. He is bigger than the person on the stage telling you to think of god in a certain — often fear based — way. I don't have a problem with the church — I have a problem the leaders of church's speaking to us in such a way that we don't get to know God for ourselves.

Our own, growing, evolving relationship with God — a relationship of *our own* understanding — must begin to outweigh the dogma and f*ed up doctrine that many churches have tried to fill our heads with.

The church is not God. God is not a man on a stage. God is… God.
