In my path to discovery I have tossed and turned with a few questions that will hopefully help me to decide. I have always wanted to know if the content in the Bible was true, why bad things happen to good people, and whether or not the religion I have been taught is just that, a religion, or if it is something more (a relationship).

To understand first if the Bible is true or not you have to read its content in its entirety. The very basic foundation of our existence lies within the first passage of the Bible, the choice between evolution and creation. I believe God is the creator of the universe. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”, according t

I could ignore everything I was told growing up. I could just ride the Christian train and just go along with it, or I could actually choose to make Jesus Christ the engineer of the train. According to Billy Graham, a widely known T.V. evangelist, “40% of the world has chosen to ride the “Christian” labeled bus” (pg #13). To me brings everything full circle back to the original question regarding spoon fed religion. Of the 40% of the world Billy Graham was talking about, how many of them actually made a personal choice to believe Jesus as the savior and accept him in their heart.

If there is a heavenly creator (God) and there are laws set before us, it is only fai
