hi there, just wondering how one gets several thousands of frubals with just 20 posts?? not even if all the Rf members went on a frubal charity whats the secret

Fair enough, thank you for explaining all this (I haven't seen you on the forum for a while!)

How is your spiritual search going, then?

If by "seeker" you mean someone who is looking for what feels right and not just being roped into a belief system blindly......then yes, I fit that description. I grew up in the military so the religious services that I attended where varied. Pentecostal, lutheran, protestant, and whatever else the chaplain/priest/preacher at the base happened to be. I found that even as a kid I could realize that the stories from each religion may have some minor differences but the root was the same. From this I have always known that I believed in God. I used to say I was christian but recently I have found that description to be inaccurate. I am Monotheistic. While I believe that christ/jesus did exist and was a messenger of God, to say that I am christian would be saying I follow christ......I don't follow christ, if I follow anything it is God.

I am not what some would call a "bible thumper". I don't have versus memorized and I can't debate biblical history with a faithful church go'er but I do know when something doesn't sound right or sounds implausable. My wife and I decided to try and go back to church and we found one that is very laid back, not stuffy, really a "come as you are" type of setting. The church doesn't have an exact denomination but it is definately christian. At first this was fine, I figured I try it out and let the newness wear off before deciding if it was right. Well it didn't take long for the preacher to contradict himself in the same sermon. I still go for the wife and kids but also to see what other contradictions or "blind faith" proclamations he will make.

I am analytical and logic oriented, yet I still have a side that can see the need for faith without proof. This leads me to a lot of dissatisfaction in finding "THE" answer. So far the closest label that I can find to my own beliefs is Reform Judaism. However I am still searching and waiting for the day I feel the right fit.

Hi and welcome to RF

" Religion

I'm here to find out."
Does that mean you're a seeker, like me?
