With the advice of my friends, including my wife, being of the same nature, I find myself looking at the different ways that man sees God. I think that coming together with others who share the same view of God can only strengthen my life. Alone we can be strong but with the support of others we can only be stronger. Thank you friends for your comments. I probably knew this all along but my whole religious background being of one belief and my family going and getting into the whole ceremonious thing and not including me when they did it, left a bad taste in my mouth for organized religions as a whole. I guess I should open up...
Looking at the chart above, I can see that one third of the world is either Islamic or non-religious. Those two will not work for me and my family. One third is Hindu or Buddhist, or even older religions and the whole reincarnation as a rat if you are bad thing has me afraid to even look at the Hindu way. I like the Buddhist peace but feel awfully alone for the most part there. That leaves the third of the world that practices Christianity. My belief in God is strong and always has been. I only had a distaste for organized religion. (especially the televangelists and bible thumpers screaming 'heal this woman!') Now I just need to find a good place to learn to be closer to him and bring my family closer to him. We can only benefit...

Now, stop thinking so much, find yourself a good christian church and go. If you don't like the one you go to try another one. You might want to start with a larger church like this one. http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/index.html. It is not too far from you and has a good reputation. Of course, you are always welcome at our church. I am not trying to be pushy (well, not too pushy). Tell me to stop if it is offensive or if I am making you weirded out or uncomfortable.
