Thank you to the makers of this forum for providing a place for non-Christians to post. Very nice of you.
As someone who is neither an atheist or a believer, but who wants to be a believer (probably a Christian), I find it hard to fit in anywhere. Maybe here? Is anybody in this same rather unstable boat?
Besides people who are like me, I'd like to talk to some Christians who can take me as I am and not give long sermons, but just let me see how you are. It doesn't do any good to say, "Just believe." If I could do that, I'd be in the top part of the forum--and I'd be very happy. But if you can tell me exactly how to "just believe" with steps I can follow, I will thank you all my life. (I already read the Bible daily, and pray several times a day. Maybe you can help me with the Christian fellowship that's also recommended as a way to get to faith in God.)
I just honestly don't know what's out there, and I hope that if it's God, He will accept me as being honest, and honestly wanting to know Him. I hold a space for Him in my heart/mind/soul, clean and unoccupied for now, and if I ever do know Him I will love Him.
I call my religion Respectful Agnosticism.
