Southeast Colorado | I consider myself a very good morally upright person in my community. I serve on several local boards including my hometown school board. All of that said, I struggle with the concept of religion. I don't have anything against a deeply religious person (or one that is not so deeply religous for that matter) because I figure each and everyone of us is traveling through their own journey within themselves. I think that I want to understand Christianity better but for me it always comes down to a simple but to me a brick wall concept. Most of Christianity is based on the concept of truly understanding the magnitude of the fact that GOD sent his son to die for our sins. Every time I go to church and hear the lessons, everyone is just truly amazed at the fact that GOD would send his son to do this and how that is the ultimate sacrifice. Here's where I have a problem. If I knew that my son would come back to life in 3 days and be looked upon with such greatness I would give him up easily. If I truly thought I would never get to see him for years and maybe forever I'm not so sure I would give him up so quickly. I try my best to live my life by the 10 commandments and do my best to live right but I can't help but question a lot of things. Wouldn't a true God expect me to question these things instead of just blindly having faith? Blind faith looks to me like a way to lead you to false gods. I"m still waiting for this answer and have been for years. I admire those of you who have found peace with this but I still struggle for the answer. It is not ruining my life, but I'm still puzzled. Thanks for hearing me out.
