I don't want to bring this thread too much off topic, though in my questing for answers (God, life, etc.) I seemed to have approached it backwards.
I actually started with a belief in the psychic and paranormal, my family heritage is English on my mothers side, so all this I thought was pretty normal as I was brought up with these beliefs.
I didn't read the Bible, nor did I have any interest in wanting to know it. As I continued I researched many other religions and beliefs. Then about four or five years ago, I finally studied the Bible.
It amazed me, the amount of information it contained. I think it has a great 'blue-print' for living. There are a lot of issues about human behaviours, the shoulds and shouldn'ts. I could also relate much of my other learnings and ideals with what was being said in the Bible. I was surprised at the amount of 'good' information. It is all this that keeps any spark of a God like aspect in my thoughts.
I think I just wanted to differentiate between the information contained within the Bible as opposed to the circumstances or conflicts that surround it.
