First, thank you for the interest Abaris, that is a name I am not familiar with. Does it have a special meaning?
Secondly, for me there are several questions that I was looking for the answers to. What happens when we die? Where did we come from? Why are we here? How was the universe created and for what purpose? For me, science, other forms of religion and such did not supply me with a believable and satisfactory answer that ties all of those questions together in a coherent answer. The bible did however. It took a long time for me to arrive at this conclusion as I had several sticking points along the way. I found that when reading the bible and taking it all in as a whole (even some of the hard to believe parts) it tied a lot of things together cohesively.
