Ran across this on Facebook.


I left the Church
Not because
I long for sin
Or long for lust
Or long for selfishness
I left because
I long for truth
I long for love
I long for kindness
Without the threat
Of hell
If I do not obey
The way you want me to
I left because
God
Creator/
Divine/
Spirit/
Must be bigger
Than your book
And your building
I left for healing.
I left for me.
I left for those
Who couldn’t.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
