I believe in the God whose nature is love
was constrained by Love to create something potentially lovable;
something to be nurtured until it is the best it could be,
but not something that was forced into compliance
without any option of returning that love.

I believe in the evolution of Creation,
from the humble beginnings of infinite potential
to the wonder of where we are today and onward to what we could become.

I believe that we have the freedom to develop
into creatures that are lovable, detestable or worse;
that we can listen to Love's voice , or not; grow towards God or away.

I believe that Jesus showed a better model for humanity;
what we could become if we listen to God's voice;
an example of the next stage of evolution, the path that humanity can take.

I believe that idolatry lies in the worship of Jesus.
Such divinity is merely a product of man's invention; an excuse for our imperfections,
and a vehicle for the creation of a separate religion with its own rules and hierarchies
