More from Shraffy:
It's arrogant to say, "I feel that my belief is correct, and THEREFORE everyone who doesn't believe as I do is wrong.
Not all of us think that way, in fact most of us don't. However, for those that do consider this: If they believe in the Bible word for word for whatever reason, then we agree it's not arrogance, right?
Now they believe it, and in it there are parts about Jesus being the only way to heaven, right? So, they believe that only Christians will be saved because they believe the Bible. It's not like (most) enjoy the thought of even the good nonbelievers going to hell; just because someone believes in it doesn't mean they like it.
I find it amazing that anyone thinks they know anything at all about the supernatural based upon our extremely malleable feelings.
If it's supernatural, science won't hold a candle to it. I respect science as a great way to find facts, but I disagree with anyone who thinks there are no other ways to find the truth and understand the world around us. There are some things science will never understand that only our admittantly fallible emotions could have a chance to grasp.
So, I guess I can't really relate much to having a spiritual crisis because my faith was always pretty weak, even as a really young child.
It's just sad that someone feels that they must tie their entire faith on the idea that a certain interpretation of their holy book must be literally true.
That seems more like worshipping the Bible than God.
More or less I agree with the last statement. But really I was raised Christian but I was more agnostic myself for the first part of my life. I didn't really believe in something I couldn't see, then I realized that what I see and hear isn't all that's going on.
Wanna feel God? Step onto the wrestling mat and you'd be crazy to deny the uplifting spirit.
