We have been told all the wrong things about God.
The Church told us God is our judge, He punishes sin, He tortured and killed Jesus, He hates sex, He is homophobic and misogynistic, and He will punish some with eternal torment in hell.
But none of these things is true.
The world does not know God.
And unfortunately this includes His priests and ministers.
The punitive God described above has more to do with the dominance of the ruling elite than it has to do with God.
God punishes no one.
He loves us like a Father.
He is merciful, forgiving, and compassionate.
He knows and understands us.
And His Love is everlasting.
So go into your room and close the door.
Pray to God with all your heart.
He will answer you.
