I am following a path, albeit the path is not clear or easy to see. Really, there are times I am not sure I am still on a path. I still press on, sometimes with great focus and conviction, other times I'm wandering casually along. Presently, I am wandering - with no clear direction or even purpose. My only purpose is to know.
I'm hoping that with this blog I will encounter others also following a path, perhaps even my path, perhaps not. I believe everyone is on a journey, but that some are more clear about it than others. I want to meet people who are engaged with their faith journey, in their various stages.
My own journey has taken me from atheism to deep christian faith, to agnosticism. I have come to accept that I am post-christian, but still have a nagging, lingering hope that that is not true. I have read in the writings/challenges of Freethinkers to Christians that there are no examples of ex-christians who, having really examining the evidence and renouncing their faith, have later returned to their christian faith. Can anyone relate or respond to this challenge? I have a sincere respect for, and interest in Buddhism and Taoism - but I do not feel any real desire to convert. I appreciate their wisdom and am interested in their theories.
I want to enter into dialogue with others (not arguments, but dialogue). I want to learn from your experience, your perspective. I may not agree, perhaps I will. But I want to hear from you.
