Many people rebel against religion or God because of things they were taught growing up. Let me say this. Don't resist loving the God of the universe because of bad doctrine forced upon you in the past. The truth is, God is wonderful. Much of what you think is from the bible or is "true" is simply man-made doctrine perpetuated by people who are hypocrites.

Isaiah 29:13 attests to this:


The Lord says,
"These people worship me only with their words.
They honor me by what they say.
But their hearts are far away from me.
Their worship doesn't mean anything to me.
They teach nothing but human rules."
