Hello All
January 21, 2013 at 2:09 am
I have been a Christian my whole life because my parents told me to. But honestly im not sure i believe. Sure its a nice story. But i just think it all might be a load of crap. I pray and pray and pray and i get nothing. Maybe im not dialing the right number idk. Im just looking for some guidance i guess. I wouldnt consider myself an athiest. But i am heading down that road.

I look forward to talking with you all.

I am 18 and live in California By the way

Hello and welcome! Test the waters, participate in the threads, maybe post some for yourself. Rome wasn't built in one day. No need to fret about indecision Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Hi Matt, good to have you aboard! You're amongst friends here, I assure you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Indecision? a song for you from my era.

Actually, Truth is; that you being questioning is the right place to be, and I say that as a confirmed 100% non-believer. Your open mind is a good place to be, my viewpoint is much harder to justify.

Welcome

Guidance? There's no problem to resolve, why would you need a guide? Smile

I'm not certain you look forward to speaking with all of us... but I hope you'll enjoy yourself nonetheless. Tiger
