Religions and Churches
My feelings about Christianity, Islam, Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, United Methodism
For a specific writing that I like about Mormonism, go here: Mormonism
Though I have found value in many of the religious perspectives and churches I have encountered
throughout my
life, very few have impressed or influenced me greatly in any truly profound type
of way. As a result, I have
always considered myself an agnostic, which, to me, is one who is
always awaiting further evidence or
enlightenment regarding possible conclusions about God.
The idea of God has always come to me in
scientific form, however, and not in religious robes,
and somewhere in the middle of my life I came
across a piece of writing that to this day most
nearly expresses what I most deeply believe.
