Reaction: The Internet is My Religion

I have always struggled with my spirituality and moral beliefs, and the teaching of the Catholic church. I believe God loves and supports everyone, including gay people. I believe you do not have to go to church to be a good person. I believe bad things happening to good people is not a punishment from God, but an unfortunate reality. I define myself as spiritual but have a hard time identifying with a specific religion.

However, I cannot help but to agree with Jim Gilliam's PDF 2011 speech. "As a child I believed in creationism, that the universe was created in 6 days. Today, we are the creators," said Gilliam.

We are all connected. And now we literally are all connected through the internet. People connected can create a new world. "Each one of us is a creator, but together we are the  creator."

Gilliam went on to talk about passion in the sense we are all unique, having different interests, but because of this we can all bring something new to this world we are constantly creating and recreating.

"We serve God best when we do what we love for the greatest cause we can imagine."
