[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:25 pp, as I said, the OP is free to ignore my recommendations. Perhaps you have better suggestions?
I hope the OP finds what he/she is looking for.[/quote]

OP was asking for a narrative, and you gave her a book title.  You could have at least bothered to type up a short review.[/quote]

OP here -- I stepped away for many years and I think that is what has given me a skeptic's eyes as I re-introduce myself to various churches.  I was away for so long that I am looking at it more as a neutral party rather than one who was born and raised and just kept doing it.  When I look at the actual words of the Apostle's Creed and such, I just don't feel them flowing off my tongue -- Because I'm not just spitting them out by rote memory, I'm actually looking at the words and listening and thinking about whether I really mean what the words are saying.  And that's why I have this question about how you came to conclude that this Christianity thing was solid for you.... b/c from an outsiders standpoint, it does seem kind of crazy.

As an aside, an acquaintance recently commented on Romney's Mormonism beliefs, saying "that's some weird stuff."  And I was like, "well, all religions are pretty strange if you think about it.  Christianity is supporting the idea of cannibalism -- "eat my body."  I'm sure that sounds pretty whacky to other people too.

But, I don't want to just dismiss Christianity out of hand b/c clearly there are smart, analytical people who have investigated and come to embrace it.  That's why I'm wondering if I'm missing a few key details.[/quote]
