My doctor asked me to pray.

[Jehanne]

I want get you started on anything if that's what you want, you've been presented with the truth of scriptures and it's your decision. I will say God has always intended for man to have a personal relationship with Him, it starts in Genesis and goes through the entire Bible. Not everyone will be presented the truth because they wouldn't accept it if God presented himself before them, they like you don't trust their own mind.

I believe that Jesus of Nazareth existed and was born and raised in northern Galilee, where he became an apocalyptic preacher; his friends and followers encouraged him to bring his message south to Jerusalem.  He did just that, but he got arrested by the Romans and was crucified; his body was tossed into a nearby pit, and either buried or consumed by wild dogs.

I do not look upon my "beliefs" about Jesus as being a "choice" any more than I could "choose" to believe that the South won the Civil War.  Rather, it's the evidence that compels me, independent of my free will (if I truly have free will), to conclude that the Gospels are mostly legends, fables and myths and that Paul was an epileptic with delusions of grandeur who took the Jesus message, and from there, started a world religion.
