Religious Ponderings

I went to church with my mother-in-law last night. The bible study on Wednesday nights at their church is really quite informative. The pastor there teaches instead of just screaming about fire and brimstone which made it a fairly pleasant experience. I actually learned something. I promised Ryan when we started getting serious that although I did not want him shoving his beliefs down my throat, that I would study and make further decisions on what it is I believe. I've been an Agnostic Theist for several years now; it started sometime in high school when I was going through all that teenage emotional turmoil and decided that the whole of Christianity was a load of poo.

But that was just my angst talking, and I don't want to let that get in the way of at least trying to do the right thing now in my marriage with Ryan. His religious beliefs are a big part of what makes him my Ryan, and it's really important to him that I revisit the idea of Christianity without my perpetual cloud of teenage angstiness in the hopes that we will be together even after death. So I'm making the honest effort of learning, discovering, and deciding what I do and do not believe when it comes to Christianity.
