Losing (my) Religion

I was thinking about Judiasm last night while I made Hamentashen with my new awesome work/outside of work friend maya. I think of judiasm more as a nationality than a religion. It's me. It's my family. But, I don't think of my god as right or wrong or better or worse. The idea of Jesus scares me though, I don't understand it. I mean, I'm trying to be open minded, but how is the bible any different from Greek Mythology? Less flying beasts? So, when someone says that they're trying to walk in the path of Jesus, I have to give pause and ask how they can spend their precious time on this earth looking for footprints in the sand?

I'm super particular about which journals I write in. They have to speak to me. And, i prefer them to be fabric. I almost bought one this fall that was in spanish--i thought, hey how fitting. Then, i realized that it said" I walk in the foot prints of god" and dropped it as if it had struck me. I believe in people. I believe in people! But, waiting for some prophet to change you, to forgive you? It sounds like waiting for an imaginary friend to make your life better. I hope none of you are offended by this; what do I know? Except that I think all of us possess such power...sometimes religion can cloud this, rendering us power-less...
