Introspection can be a really wonderful thing.

Oh, and, the boards = you rock.

I am glad to hear your boards and presentation went well. I told you you'd be fine.

....Did you end up with one of my shirts??

Hey April, it's good to hear that you're doing well. It was good to see you at the alumni party too. Reading this post though I am starting to fear that you're falling in with what I would call the cult side of Christianity. This is the side that is more concerned with controlling it's followers than it is with doing good in the world ( ... )

Thanks for commenting TERI. Ha ha. I liked your quote. You seem to have a good balance of spirituality and religion. I will try to be simmilar and always remember what it was like to doubt and be uncertain, and to be logically discerning as much as possible too. It was the search for truth that got me here, and I will never cease that search even still.

God is certainly very mom-like. lol Maybe it is a goddess. ;)

Teri almost sounds like a Uni (aka Unitarian). They're the only major Christian sect I know to refer to God as Goddess. I'm telling you, check them out!

Out of curiosity, why did someone who previously identified herself as an atheist choose Christianity?

Why not Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Islam or Judaism (to mention a few)?

Also, what particular sect of Christianity did you pick? Why?

As someone who was starting from the blank slate of atheism, you could choose to believe in any version of God that the world offers...

Hey Joel. Nice to hear from you. Well, it's like this. One day, I came the conclusion that God exists. You could say: "believe," "know," "trust," or "faith," but I really think words fail to convey the mental switch I flipped. Anyhow, I didn't presume anything more than "God exists" at first. Then of course, I had to go from there. There are so many things that follow that sudden conclusion that need to be dealt with. First, I started to think about wth I know/believe about Him/Her. So, I know most about the Judeo-Christian God, and He is claimed to be the eternal creator, etc etc, which is the description of what I came to believe. I suppose "Allah" and "Jovah" and "Chrishna" (sp?) are all names for beings of the same description, but the name doesn't matter to me. The major character in history that talked about God, as in the single, true, universal, eternal, yadda yadda... "God," was Jesus. I have always believed a real person, Jesus, did live, but now I look upon that history with jaw-dropping astonishment. So that God, the ( ... )

"Plus, an eerie coincidence, I find I actually agree with everything Jesus was written to have said. Like, all of it. Scary eh? I would think, if Jesus was just a guy smok'n the crack, I would disagree with *something ( ... )
