Obligatory intro.

[Emetic]

I had this sudden urge to pick up the bible on my desk and read Revelations. I really don't know why. I'm not religious. I guess I find apocalyptic prophesies interesting in general. But then I had this thought; maybe I should try understanding God, maybe I could converse with those who already have absolute faith in him/her.

I'm not here because I'm afraid. It's the lack of fear that's probably brought me here. Does that make sense?

I never believed in being religious solely through fear. I wanted true faith. I didn't want to just follow subserviently behind something I didn't quite understand in fear of going to hell. I'm hoping I'll learn something here, that I won't turn my back and close my eyes anymore, that I won't be afraid.

I apologize if any of this is incoherent.

Hi and welcome to CF ... well what I advise is pray to God so that you can open your heart and understand Him better. Maybe He is giving you a signal or an answer God bless you
