Why I am writing this book

Some of you may be wondering why am I writing this book, or for that matter, a book in the first place. This book project stems from my frustration with organized religion. For those of you who know me, you have already heard my complaints about organized religion and some of you may share them same frustrations with me, this book is for us and any one who is not happy with the world that we live in.

I am so jaded about organized religion to the point that even though I want to go to church every time that I think I want to go, I believe that all I will see is the bad in the Church. I see people going to church for every reason but God. To gossip, to socialize, to find a job, a wife, a date, to politic, to gain something outside of spiritual enlightenment. I can’t participate in that life style; I don’t want it, so I have decided to keep my relationship with God in between me and him. I also do not believe in everything that the bible says, with so many books and stories, written by men, everything in the book can not be right and accurate. I am also frustrated with cherry picking Christians who pick certain verses out of the bible and run with it, ignoring the rest of the book. We are all sinners, one should not waist the time casting judgment on other people for their sins, instead we should help our fellow men get out of their current situations, but then again that would be too much like right.

I am a human being, I have thoughts and even though I was raised a Christian and even though I still believe in God, I am disappointed in the fact that religion has not united the world. Is there anything that can unite the people of the world outside of a major international crisis that would threaten the existence of the human race? I don't know, politics has failed us, religion has failed us. The dream of a better tomorrow still lives on in all of us, but how long do we have to wait to see it?

And so I write, venting my frustration with the world, I write, exploring the possibilities of a better tomorrow, I write challenging the God that we serve, yes, challenging him to love us like he use to.
