Hello DC&R!

Post #1

Post by Jian »

Hello all,

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi before I got myself in a tangle. :P
I have been on a spiritual quest as of late. Hopefully by discussing, comparing and debating on this forum; I will move forward in this spiritual journey of mine.

One thing I know for sure is that there is a God or "higher power" if you will but that is the only thing that is concrete for me right now. I have looked into Christianity for some time but I am slowly being turned off from it. When it comes to 'religions', I guess you can say that I am "the jack of all trades but master of none." I have dabbled in just about everything.

Well, hope to meet many of you.

Thanks,

Darnell :D

Welcome :wave:

I'm sure that you will get yourself quite tangled. How is it that you are sure of a God or "higher power"? I won't debate that topic in General Chat, but I am curious and it may bring up a good theme for a debate.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

In the end, we cannot scientifically prove or disprove the existence of God. There are good arguments for both sides. You just have to gather the facts and follow your intuition.

Cheers,

Darnell :)

Welcome to the forum Darnell. Feel free to jump into the "tangle" at your leisure. I look forward to seeing your views as a jack of all trades.
