And I'm angry that I misspelled my name, lol.

I will reread John. I'm unsure how to write this. I'm still confused. I'm considering a pilgrimage of sorts.

Are we talking about jesus?

Christ is in all of us. That said, I believe he was middle eastern. How black constitutes black? What is this? We're all just folks.

Thank you, my friend. I dont have a computer so I navigate this site on my phone. It has proven difficult... Or at least different from what I'm used to.

Its weird because trust has been brought up to me a lot through councillors. I apparently put complete trust in people I dont know, and I shy away with sharing anything with people I know. Thanks for your kind words, by the way, I forgot to mention that. I'm not sure who you refer to as...

I just want to say that my wife is totally fine with the bible. It was growing up with the bible that had me wrap it in black so nobody would know. My wife actually enjoys me reading her scripture. She is just cautious about things like that. I actually had a talk with her recently in which I...

I suppose my qualms with the bible is that its picked and chosen. Exactly mirroring the man behind the curtain, or OZ. The gospel of Thomas is my favorite gospel, but it's discounted. Why? Because it was found in 1945. I love how you see being aware is super rare. Passing into tbe kingdom of...

I'm sorry, but I must ask the question. How does one define God? And if you can't, how can you be sure you're right?

I love the changing your mind part. To me, that is reality. Watching sermons though? How is that different from an alan watts session? And don't get me wrong, I love sermons, and Alan Watts.

You know what's really crazy? I have a gnostic bible, satanic bible, koran, morman bible, Buddhist and Hindu texts, a necronomicon, a Swedish bible from the early 1800s, and who knows what else. I still have my original bible homewrapped in black duct tape because I was afraid of what would...

Ha, yes. Yet at the same time it's all the same organism, in a way. Catch 22, right? ETA: We humans are alive, but we fail to see the rocks are alive, the soil, the celestial bodies themselves. Its all in motion. Minerals literally grow and change molecular structure. Dirt is eaten an pooped...

Thank you. I feel lost, and your words have been inspiring. I ask forgiveness everyday, and I still spill tears daily. I dont know why I'm here. I can't tell whether I'm asking for help or if I'm the devil incarnate. My wife has woken up numerous times to me making mocking faces from dreams in...

Thanks for replying. Agnostic is how my father identifies. I say it with an open mind. After all, what do we really KNOW. Maybe I get tied up in linguistics. However, the term agnostic is certainly against Christianity, but certainly not against Buddhism. Then again, I wouldn't consider Buddhism...

I'm sorry for the introduction forum. I've been having a hard time navigating the site. My apologies. My friends and I have been away from the church for well over a decade. We agree now a return to the church is necessary. I don't even remember my prayers other than the Father's prayer. It's...

I appreciate the reply. Maybe I've been soured by a childhood priest who later denounced his faith. Its difficult to feel welcomed back though. Even this site doesnt allow me to post in most forums because I claimed to be agnostic, even though I was and am Christian, just curious in other...

I agree with this so much. I'm a religious mutt, and I just want people to be happy. I grew up with the church, but being in a family with conflicting beliefs is odd. It's important to just believe. Dogma aside. Thanks for the refreshing reply.

Alright, I'll start. Are you Christian and do you believe in certain dogmatic beliefs? Like denominational beliefs? Or are you in some different category?

I just hope I can get good discussions with folks. I recently had a stalemate kind of thing on a different forum, but thats okay. It happens.
