Dear Pastor Frank,

Does the word Religion come from God or did we humans just make it up? I feel that Religion destroys animals. Not just elephants, but all animals. I guess I can call myself Non-religious but still love God? Can a Christian be non-religious?

Also, I tried to read Genesis last week but after reading about the animal sacrifices I closed the book. About ten pages and I was already done with it. I am hoping it is not actually God's word and that some terrible person thought they were talented in a literary sense. Ditto for the rest of that violent book. I personally do not believe that a loving God could be a part of that book. Maybe I am not who I was trying to be after all.

Thank you very much,

Barb
