    I think I'll look into that book. It sounds interesting. Thanks, again. I really do appreciate it.

    You are most welcome! I love discussing religion with anyone regardless of their faith

    I was raised a lot like you, my parents are Catholic, and I was baptized as a baby, but they never really opened a Bible with me, nor did we go to church. So, I started to drift as a kid, and went from "Catholic" to Atheist to Agnostic, to "Unknown", to Baha'i. I also feel the same way about the world's religions all holding some validity as you do. I'd suggest researching all of the world's religions, whether it be through Google or Wikipedia or speaking to followers or just picking up different holy books. There is a very good book, "The Everything World's Religions Book", which I read when I was in the same spot as you. It offers a very unbias look at a HUGE amount of religions, the history and the basic beliefs held by all of them. It also goes very indepth into the different sects of Christianity- so if you'd like to stay that root but maybe get a little change you can find out more about that. But, even if you decide to stay a Christian, reserach can help you understand your own religion or give you kind of an "add-on" (Like you can be a Christian that follows Buddhist principles if you wish!). The sky is the limit. But, and I don't mean to force my faith on your in any way, maybe you should look into the Baha'i Faith as well, as it is quite unknown, but it does really talk about how all the world religions are truely one religion. If you want any information, I'd be more than happy to offer you some, but again please do not feel that I am forcing anything on you- just giving you some ideas as I know that the search for religion is hard and confusing as I have gone down that path myself. Take care.

    Thank you for the welcoming and your post on my thread about prayer. It helped a lot. Even though you follow a different religion than I, it still helped. (: Actually, I think I forgot to mention in that post of mine that I'm not actually Christian. I mean, I am but I'm not? See, I was raised to think that I was Christian. But since we never went to church or anything, I kinda detached from Christianity. Right now, I don't know what I believe. Its very difficult. Somehow, I think there is a way where all religions are right. I mean maybe not all of what one religion believes in or anything. I think there is a small, single thread of connection in the big picture. But who knows? Maybe I'll go back to Christianity and follow that for the rest of my life. I'm undecided.

    By the way, I really liked the quote you made up that you had provided me with. Very clever lol.
