When I left Christianity, and started exploring other ideas...I was naturally drawn back to the Abrahamic faiths, because that's all I knew. But, now, I'm spiritual, believe in God, without all the bells and whistles of religion. I feel free, in a way, that I didn't feel when following religion. Islam just seems to have the same restrictive nature as does Christianity, in my opinion.Do you know the surname of your Syrian relatives?
Having said that, learning that I'm part middle eastern last year, (my dad never told me until last year), definitely makes me wonder who on my paternal grandfather's side was Muslim, I'd imagine there's a heritage there of Muslims that I'll never know anything about, which intrigues me.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
