. . . All I want is a reason to believe in life and a reason to love . . .
All I want is a reason to believe in life and a readon to love, why does man have to manipulate me into believing in their version of religion or indeed criminalising me for being different and wanting to break the mould of this modern slavery of society?
God is not a concept.....god is an in dwelling knowing....something your mind will never be able to make any sense of.
You cannot "think" god or faith into being.
But once you "know" the "knowing" ie your own unique "truth" you will have all the faith you will ever need.
Then you will be able to "lift the veil" and see the grand scheme behind all things.

I see myself as a caring and emotional person but in life I have found myself constantly seeking for some truth or some closure to what life actually is. I find myself being a very spiritual person and always thinking about why we are here and what we can do to be good for people. Yet I find myself feeling polluted by oeganised religion and feel I cannot trust what man presents to me due to their lust for power. Yet God (if there is one) will not reveal themselves to me despite me being thirsty for a reason and a model to base my life on and devote my love of which is bursting to get out.
Yet this does not happen and the only thing each person from religion can tell me is that I must have faith and all will become clear, from Christianity to Judaism to Islam they all believe that I must belive without doubt despite the terrible human race having their mits on the biblical scriptures before I get to read them.

Yeshua (Jesus) the messiah is the only way to salvation and God.
Please understand that the Bible is divinely inspired. Understanding it can really clear up alot of your confusion. I'll be happy to help you if you need help.
Is there a specific concept you can't understand or agree with in the Bible?

Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet and we misundestood his message. They believe that Mohammed was the last prophet and any virtuous muslim would believe in Christianitys ideals.

Despite what Wildtimes would lead you to believe. The bible is a message of HOPE. In the New Testament you will find what you seek. Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) can heal whatever heartache or pain you have, if you open your mind to him. You can have a personal relationship with him and he will teach you. He will teach you love, forgiveness and mercy and you will have inner peace and you do not even need to go to church for his gift of salvation.
You can choose whatever path you want as is your right, but no one else in history can teach you more then he can. If you can find the courage and strength, ask him to show you and he will.
May you find the peace you're seeking.
