I am looking for a way to believe in God?
Hi, I hope you can help me.
I'm a social liberal, much more sure of the legitimacy of my values than I ever will be about theistic matters, and very concerned with having justified true beliefs about the world around me. These two facts alone have kept me from regaining the faith in God I lost back in elementary school. But I like Christianity, and its become increasingly clear to me that the inane fundamentalism that I've been raised with isn't the only approach to God in the market. I would like to think that there are more intellectually respectable approaches out there, and because of a few changes in my approach to life recently, I've become quite a bit more comfortable with the uncertainty that religious life entails. Many agnostic atheists abound, but agnostic theism seems just as good and promises much more to me in life than the other uncertain alternative. What I need, though, is a theology that makes sense and is internally consistent, one that I can comfortably follow even as I approach God with a sense of suspicion and doubt. One that doesn't contradict anything I know to be true, including the moral basis of my values. I need a theism that I can be proud of asserting. If you could provide sufficient guidance about this issue, or point me to a good book, I'd be very grateful. I swear Yahoo needs a "let me respond to this bs button" -_- Meh. I was really looking for a liberal theologian or something to come around and show me what's what. Meh. Ads |
