Update

Hi everyone! I know it's been a long time and many of you are wondering what happened to Chris, especially since my bombshell a few months ago. Well, it's been a crazy few months since I disappeared from church and I'd like to let everyone know what's going on.

Sometimes a step away and a view in from the outside is required to gain a better understanding of the truth. Sometimes we need to leave the cave of traditional Christian dogma to let our spiritual eyes begin to develop in the light of reality. True, I regret my sudden proclamation and departure and wish that I didn't alienate myself from the people who care about me, but it gave me a greater insight into the character of Christianity.

Right now I don't claim to have many answers, but I can honestly say that the love of the church is a huge testament to some sort of Spiritual presence in the lives of Christians, and I think it's the spirit of Jesus. Now, I'm far from believing that the Bible is the "inerrant Word of God" as many conservative Christians claim, but I think it reveals many truths and does not necessarily need to be considered as a cohesive, perfect entity in order to please God (however you define him).

Anyway, I'm keeping this short because I have a lot of homework to finish tonight. I'll follow up in the next few weeks with some insights I've gained over the last few months. I really do appreciate all of the prayer and support and I wish you all peace as you continue with school and work.
