[split] "Christianity makes me afraid."

[Lighthead]

I think I liked the Bible mostly because I focused on the things I resonated more with and that I was self-educating myself as a christian. I sought to understand an experience more than wanting the book to be fully true althought I did have my dellusions just like I still have other dellusions today.

The bible is a good starting book for the journey of fools.

I've actually been part of a fundamentalist Christian religion for a few years now. But at this point, I am desperately trying to get out of it. I've only told a few others about it. But it looks I'm getting close to leaving. The problem is that I live in an apartment complex with these other fundamentalists, so it's kind of difficult to just stop going to their "services." So I have to physically move from this location.

But I'm getting off point, sort of. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. I distinctly remember reading the bible at one point and not understanding certain parts of it and, voila! This group explained these parts better than I could have on my own. Of course, what they explained was completely based on their distorted viewpoint of the bible, so the lesson I learned was much deeper than an explanation of the bible. I basically got a crash course in religion and Christianity as a whole.

But I definitely do see it as something I had to learn and it very much was a "journey of fools" as you say.
