World Religions.

Good morning. Monday, Feb 2, 2009. Who knows the world religions - not only some distant facts about them, but know what is inside of each religion, what drives it, how people think and feel who belongs to it?

I have to realize that I know how life is as a Christian. But also I know how one lives as someone who does not believe. Yes, I know both quite well. When I was 13 years old I realized that I do not understand the Christian faith nor any other faith and became someone who is conscious about not knowing what is true. This is usually called personal agnosticism. Agnosticism claims that it is unknown whether God exists or does not exist. I did not know for a long time. I was interested, but could not make any decision myself. Things changed later - but for a decade I have been consciously living as a non-christian.

I also have experiences with how a Muslim feels and thinks. I have read a good part of the Koran. I know how influential this book can be. Further, I have been studying the original Veda literature, the faith of Hinduism. These spiritual books are deep and can influence a human strongly! I have been visiting many areas of this world and experienced the logic and strength of Gods and Temples in the far east. Let me say that I have a great deal of appreciation for all people who take their faith serious. That does not mean that I share the content of the belief. I cannot share everything - the different believes just contradict each other. They cannot be true at the same time. Also, I do not see some kind of “uniform something” behind it all.

I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus, not in anyone else. I found him and he found me. This faith is conscious in the knowledge about atheism and many world religions. It is absolutely fantastic to explore Jesus life, his words and the Holy Spirit he is talking about! [R.P., Reading, UK]
