-Removed-Life is funny that way. My BS to you has forced me to look at my own self. Truth be told though.....I am sincerely seeking spiritual guidance.....but, am more lost now than when I found this forum.
P.S. Your change of avatar pic is good....now, I imagine you as some deranged lunatic in an insane asylum. Coincidence? I think not. 🙂
Originally posted by SuzianneLol, lol. Suzianne...maybe a few hours ago I may have been upset with your post. But, in your own thread, you advised everyone to work on their sense of humor. So......I find your comment refreshing, and funny. See......I am making progress. 🙂
Seriously, maybe you two need to get a room.
-Removed-I was raised as a Christian. And I seemed okay with that for most of my life, much sinning aside. I own a wooden cross with Jesus on it. Here is the dilemma for me: sometimes, I look at the cross with awe and gratitude......and then other times, I look at this cross and wonder if all of it is just nonsense......did Jesus really exist at all? Is the Bible just a load of BS? I find myself in 'open waters', as Ghost (rightly) accused me.
On top of that, I fight.....yes, fight to understand anything close to a 'trinity'. On this forum, it seems like 'no big deal' to some posters, but.....for me, I struggle daily. I believe in a Creator.....and am fighting to know who He is. Or She, in case Suzianne is reading. 😉
Originally posted by chaney3My advice would be simply to read more of the Word of God.

And, for God's sake, go to church once in a while.

But by "you two" I meant dive and robbie. Most of this thread is those two bitching at each other.

-Removed-I endorse this post. (Hey, you asked if you 'ever' did anything correctly. 🙂 )
But to your eternal horror, I'm sure, I would add that one needs to be in contact with a larger community of believers in order to keep from straying into "fringe" territory. Bizarre beliefs come from never going to church, and relying on your own sometimes twisted (from isolation) understanding. Witness people in this forum like Rajk and Zahlanzi.
"Religion" and "mainstream" are not always bad. It's what people do with them.
