There's absolutely nothing wrong with questioning your faith as long as you don't completely lose it. Believe SOMETHING, even if you believe in nothing, believe IN it. I think that questioning your faith is a good way to strengthen your faith, even if you end up changing your mind, your faith will be stronger in whatever you believe. I don't think there can be one universal truth or Earthly truth as it were. If it were discovered and everyone found out about it, the world I think would be in turmoil, shambles, and ruin. It would change the planet forever. Saying that, I say the truth has to be a personal thing. I was not raised in a Christian household, I was raised in just a conservative household. My dad was a Lutheran, and my mom a Catholic, who converted to baptism after we moved to Louisiana because she actually never really liked catholicism. I have nothing against any religion (besides Scientology) because of their beliefs. I have a bit of a problem with religion in general and their snobbery of "It's my way, or you're screwed ( ... )

Yeah. It's hard for me to say that there isn't one universal truth. I want to say that there is...but maybe that's something else that I need to question and examine.

Oh, there's definitely a universal truth. If there wasn't, then the statement that there wasn't a universal truth would be a universal truth. :)

I love this sort of stuff.

Well, assume the opposite. There are probably things you are wrong about. And if you're wrong about them, so am I probably, since I'm southern Baptist too. But even if we believe some wrong things, if they aren't the important things it doesn't make a huge difference.

Most Christians could agree about the Apostle's Creed, even if they might disagree on, say, some points of escatology or soteriology or something else weird.

Anyway, this is Matt, a friend of Chris', who happened to be reading his friends list.
