“If you hunger for an understanding of Christian truths that make sense to your mind and nurture your soul, read Did Jesus Have a Belly Button?"
—Tom Stella, author of Finding God Beyond Religion: 
A Guide for Skeptics, Agnostics & Unorthodox Believers Inside & Outside the Church

This book began several years ago as a journal of my personal questions and spiritual growth. It became a chronicle of my mental and intellectual risk-taking.

Now, after much discernment, it has morphed into a form intended to benefit you, the reader, in your exploration of your own spirituality and your struggle to find the message of Jesus outside the rigid dogma of the Catholic Church.

My spirituality had gotten to a point where I was unable to recite the Nicene Creed at Sunday mass. I knew that much of the content of the Nicene Creed was just not true.

I know in my heart that what the church puts forth as unquestionable and irrefutable fact is often not literally true. Their truth was claimed from stories told and meant as parables.

This belief has now culminated in my being able to recognize the God within me and within all persons. This recognition is encompassed by the term Namaste, which is a form of greeting acknowledging that the God within me recognizes the God within you. This has been a journey away from the rigid dogma stated in the Nicene Creed into a new awareness of the universal recognition of the God-Spirit deep within my core, sometimes called my “soul”.

This has been my journey away from blind recitation of the Nicene Creed and into the loving awareness of Namaste!

As a cradle Catholic, I was taught not to question Church dogma that in today’s cosmic view is now impossible for me to believe. I have learned to question, even though questioning is not allowed. This book documents that journey.

The Journey Within

How do you bridge the gap between what your priest wants you to hear and believe, and what you know in your heart is the right path for you?

My own, personal journey began with questioning the doctrine contained within the Nicene Creed and concluded with discovery of the Divine Spirit within me and within all living things.

I believe that this is a similar recognition that Jesus experienced following his baptism and time in the desert.

It led to his three years of service, culminating in his being put to death.

The scholars discussed in this book (Morwood, Borg, Chittister, Rohr, Crossan, Spong, Steindle-Rast, Stella, and others) seem to be of uni­versal opinion that our Creedal “truths” are parables and not 
literally true.

Their true meanings lie much deeper, all relating to recognition of the Divine Spirit within all of us.

This is what Jesus taught:
Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
(Luke 17:21)

As Jesus made abundantly clear, we can experience this inner treasure – and no experience could be more valuable or more important.
