Hi!
I am not quite sure why I came to this page. I guess I just want to talk. I am a Kurdish girl, I live in Europe. I am 20 something. I was kind of religious as a child, I had a relative who encouraged me to learn to pray and wear the hijab. Though I never wore the hijab I wanted to wear it and I read the Quran and I fasted and prayed when I fasted. My family is not religious AT ALL! In fact my relatives make fun of muslims and Islam a lot, even though everybody is muslim but nobody cares because that´s what we kurds do, we make fun of our religion, it´s not that important to us. A few years ago I started to feel that the religion I was more or less following was not me. I don´t believe in it. I found my closest friend wearing an abaya which she totally detested a few years before and I saw little children wearing long skirts and hijabs more often. I read about Islam again and I read things that christians say about their religion and their God. I was craving love from God, not punishment. Even though there are lots of nice things in the Quran that are beautiful and nice, there are also other things that I don´t agree with. I started reading the Bible about two months ago maybe and I feel at peace for the first time in a very long time.

I am not sure why I´m posting this...I might eventually delete it. But I want to know if I´m crazy or not. I love Jesus and I have no one I can tell....

That is beautiful, sister. It sounds like God is reaching out to you and touching your heart with Christ's message of unconditional love and acceptance. God bless you and be with you on your journey to God!

I believe that Jesus is God, so I don´t believe in other Gods.

Greetings and thank you for your very relevant subject. This becomes a very complicated subject even within Christianity. The person of Jesus has been contemplated and debated since the very beginning of Christianity. Some groups within Christianity teach that to believe in the Holy Trinity of Father ,Son ,and Holy Spirit is to be guilty of worshipping 3 Gods. The most commonly accepted view is that their is One God who has revealed Himself in three manifestations. God revealed as the Father, creator of all. God revealed as the Son, Savior of mankind. God Revealed as the Holy Spirit, the comforter that Jesus said He would leave with us after He ascended into Heaven. But simply put no one in Christianity believes that they worship 3 gods.

This remains unanswered.
