I was born into a United Methodist missionary family, in Haiti.

It was OK, since they were kind, liberal, and didn't push religion on anyone. Instead, because our mission was also United Methodist, they helped the Haitians, built a clinic and radio station, were kind and helpful to all, turned it all over the Haitians when they left the mission.

Besides, I saw supernatural stuff every day..people being healed, raised from the dead, miracles happening, but mostly from the local Christian Haitians, who had a translated New Testament and took what it said literally; when Jesus said we could do what he did, people just shrugged and did it.

It was all taken for granted by the Haitian, who were used to supernatural happenings in voodoo, even though the American missionaries ignored the supernatural parts of the Bible, and went to doctors when sick. Many of the poor Haitians didn't have that option, so did what the Bible said, and it worked.

I now realize that it will work for anyone, and has nothing to do with god or religion..it's just a fact that we are helping create our own realities and can manipulate energy, since we are made of energy.
