Divorce unscriptural? Women should cover their head? This is why I will never fit in a church and why I hesitate to be associated with Christians.
Briefly:
Religion and Faith are two different things to me. Religion is the futile attempt to force two or more people to experience God in the same way, whereas Faith is a unique, personal journey. Religion is a projection of the tangible into the realm of the intangible, whereas Faith pushes the other direction, shaping the outside world based on what is inside.
Religion = follow this and that rule and have the right outward appearance, and God will bless me.
Faith = I know this is right for me and I will follow my conscience and what is right for my life, no matter how it looks to others.
