That's me in the corner...that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion

[mxdluv_21376]

My belief system needs some work, and that will take time. Many things of the Christian faith disturb me, and it's starting to turn me away. I am not saying I am ready to convert to something new at the moment, but I am curious about other beliefs & ways of life.

Those of you who study/practice anything other than Christianity (Judaism, Buddhism

I think the first question that needs to be answer is. Why believe?
There is every bit as much proof the Christian God exists as any of the Pagan/Wiccan concepts, Islam's Allah, The God of the Jews, the Plethora of Hindi Gods. Which is to say there is none at all.

If I told you I drove an F1 McLaren(multi-million dollar super car), but never let you see it. Would you believe me??? Should you believe me?? I should think not

I ma seriously thinking of taking the challenge because the more I think about Christianity (as a whole), the more confused and upset I get.

Many people have gotten upset with me because I don't push going to church on my sons. I figure, when they are old enough, they can decide what is right and what is wrong to them when it comes to religious issues. I think that is best in their overall development.
