Pilot your Own Ship
Spirituality is what we make of it. There is no right or wrong answer to the afterlife, the meaning of life, or how life began. Define your spirit, start with a clean slate and explore your universe. Universal Church is beautiful.
The Universal Life Church
The only belief of the ULC is to "Do that which is right." If what you do does not infringe on others to do the same, then as a human you are doing OK. I encourage you to do as I have, and to think about religion and spirituality to reach a point where everything makes sense. I grew up Catholic, and had a lot of questions. Why would God send most of his children to Hell? Is it possible that religious scripture is more metaphorical than we take it for today?
5 years ago, I became a minister for the Universal Life Church / ULC to perform a wedding for my brother. It was a good idea, everyone at the wedding was family and friends. ULC weddings are easy, you get ordained for free and register at your courthouse. Here are the wedding laws. But for some reason I started to think about the philosophy. Do that which is right... and that is it. They encourage you to ask the questions you have been afraid to ask. They encourage you to find God in your own way.
I never felt farther from God while performing rituals in Mass, and memorizing passages from the bible. Thinking about God as the one who gifted existence, the universe, human life... and thinking about religion as simply part of the grand philosophy as to how to appreciate all around us, made me feel close to God.
