Occasionally find myself envying people with faith and wonder how my life is different than theirs.

    Pretty well, it lets me do things Jesus frowns upon and actually enjoy my life instead of being a spiritual slave to a human invention.

      I can’t think of anything I do that Jesus would frown upon. Leviticus? Yeah, I eat shellfish and the like, so probably he’d frown, but I think the main complaint from Jesus would be that I haven’t given up all my worldly goods and helped the sick and poor enough – and I don’t think he’d be all that mad, regardless. It’s not like I’m trying to make profits off money-changing in front of the temple.

      I agree, I don’t need some 2000 year old book to dictate how I live my life.

      I will live my life on my own terms and if someone has a problem, they can respectfully leave my life.

      Doesn’t doing all of the things you want to do still make you a slave, spiritual or otherwise, to a human invention? Your desires are created by yourself or others.

        That’s not what being a slave means, at all, so no.
