Introduction
Christianity is something I've grappled with for many years. I'd describe myself as Christian, and have done for all my life. I go to church, I believe in God and the Bible. I was baptised a few years ago. This started as something I inherited from my parents, after all, I only started going to church because of them at a very young age. In the last couple of years however, I've started to develop my own views, and trying to discover where I lie with my beliefs. I don't know if anyone shares theses views, or if I'm alone in what I think. I've struggled with belief over the years. I've bordered on atheism, and abandoning Him completely. I've flirted with the popular modern theory that Christianity, and indeed all religion, is completely ridiculous and outdated. I felt like I should record my thoughts and theories, describe my experiences and see them all in one place. I am far from a perfect person, and I have done many things I regret and I'm not proud of it. I'm also nowhere near confident in my beliefs; I feel uncomfortable praying out loud, or even raising my hands when singing worship. So before you read on, understand my position. I have two Christian parents, I've been to church all my life, yet I am very much flawed. These are the writings or a flawed Christian teenager who has experienced many emotions over the years, and here they are for all to see.
