Short background; pic related.
>grew up non-denominational
>fell away from faith
>studied other religions and philosophies
>lived like a babylonian
>came back to faith
>catholicism was always definite no
>visited orthodox church
>decided orthodoxy was not good for me because vain, repetitive words mean are nice but mean nothing to me and the only true image of God is Christ and worship practices are vain unless there is sincere praise for God
>raised to pray directly to God b/c He wants a personal relationship with everyone
>aside from traditions, orthodox have a thumbs up in my book
>decided all denominations are mainly religious differences rather than theological (but there are theological differences)
>remain sola scriptura non-denominational
>consider writings from saints, scholars and apologists to be helpful in quest for understanding because different perspectives and deeper study (Augustine, C.S. Lewis, sometimes Aquinas, etc..)
