Find a Bible study to go to. Start at your own pace. No one expects you to be all holy within a week...it takes time. Take all the time you need. [ Pessy's advice column | Ask Pessy A Question ]

Just try to think about the reasons you think God is who he is and try to find the religion that fits your beliefs. I would go to several churches and hear what they have to say if I had to start from scratch. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
Asc answered Wednesday February 9 2005, 3:36 am: I'm with most of the others. Read up on different religions and try to figure out which you agree with the most. I say that mostly because I disagree with several mainstream Christian beliefs, and also because I was raised Christian and it didn't work out for me. I was never really Atheist because I couldn't honestly say I didn't believe in something (based on personal experience, y'all...), but I think I understand where you're coming from. Although, I'd love to debate your friend's proof - I think that if there was a way to definitively prove god's existance to someone set against the idea everyone would /know/ that he exists, so it wouldn't be a matter of belief.
And ignore the anti-religious asses. They're just as bad as fundie christians. Maybe worse - at least the fundies hand out Chick tracts, which can be entertaining([edit]: google 'chick bible tract'). [ Asc's advice column | Ask Asc A Question ]

I seriouslly think you're making a mistake here. Because I can write my own book and give proof that something I made up in the book exists. [ Anarchilist's advice column | Ask Anarchilist A Question ]
specialk answered Tuesday February 8 2005, 11:42 pm: If you want to talk, leave one in my inbox because i can give you solid evidential proof as to why God exists and why Theism (Christian belief in one God)is right compared to others such as Deism, Polytheism, Pantheism, Panentheism, Atheists, Agnosticsm, etc. I'm not here to preach, but to give you more solid proof so you can better decide how you feel about Christianity and Atheism. Right now I'd say you're a benign agnostic.. you're not quite sure because you DONT KNOW. The other type of Agnosticsm states that you CANT KNOW; and I don't think that's you just yet. Let me know if I can help.
