[QUOTE="Digit, post: 55271075, member: 180587"] Hi mulimulix, a fellow Aussie! :> I think your question is pretty honest and sincere, as I've heard it often before and it really seems to weigh on people's minds. I would like to mention one thing at this point, which is that you attribute religion to the area/culture you are born into. Two points about this, first up you are Jewish but are an atheist so clearly that doesn't hold true for you. Secondly, drawing a conclusion on something based on how it comes about, is a fallacy, known as the genetic fallacy. It's like saying, that someone is a Hindu because she was raised in India. On the outside the logical connection seems quite straightforward but upon closer inspection it doesn't hold true - as I said for instance, your culture would be Jewish, but you are an atheist, there are American Muslims, and Chinese Christians. Now really, the way I approached this way back when I started questioning my beliefs, was to get a good foundation in how to critically examine something, without a good foundation, you are just a tiny ship lost in a huge storm, and likely will never find land. If you are interested I would strongly suggest checking out Reasonable Faith, just Google it. Anyhow, every religion will stand or fall based on the veracity (truthfulness) of it's claims. It is for this reason that I believe and feel very confident in Christianity, putting aside that I believe and feel like I have a connection and relationship with God on a personal level which I think at this stage won't carry much weight with you. ;) And that's it really, I just started thinking of things and then researching them in regards to the Biblical context.
