    greetings everyone! I have a lot of anxiety regarding my religion, so I thought maybe I could find solace here. I grew up Lutheran, but it was in a bad situation, so around middle school I became atheist/agnostic. since somewhere in my freshman year of high school, I’ve regained my faith and tried to disconnect God from my negative experiences with the church/school I had them at. I’ve been Christian since with no definite denomination. I come here hoping to grow and strengthen my faith, as well as gain more insight and knowledge into the teachings of God.

    Welcome to the BB!

    Strip away everything that you think you know about the Bible and approach it as a child that knows nothing, praying as David, "Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law". Begin on page one and read through as quickly as possible in order to get the idea of it.

    If you do that you'll never regret it and you'll have a strong foundation that few have nowadays to build on.

    Bruh, I meant that in jest only, I am sorry if that came across as me being snotty. That was not my intent at all.
