I'm comfortable with my religion. I don't need anything else.

It has been suggested that if a person's religion brings them happiness that they need not look for anything else.

"I want you to see Truth," doesn't instill curiosity so much as it smacks of presumption.

This view is an outgrowth of post-modernity, even if subconsciously, and the move toward "little narratives." To some effect, there is a point where respecting another's views is absolutely essential.

​

In fact, if when we engage with people that differ from ourselves we must necessarily respect their right to their own decisions. That said, we must find a place where we can raise valuable questions that move all of us forward.

​

If you're reading this, it reveals a curiosity, so I don't mind explaining that temporary comfort and happiness ought not be the ultimate goal in this life. If in fact, there is something more or different than what we hold to be true, why would we risk being wrong?

​

As a Christian, I've explored other religions and philosophies. I've sought to understand them, and I've engaged with people of different mindsets than myself my entire life. I yearn for Truth.

​

I'm also a believer in the idea that if there are questions, answers exist, and when we genuinely seek Truth, Truth will be found.
 

Reference Points:

1. In Jeremiah 29:13, God speaks to a specific people in a specific time and eternal Truth about Himself, "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."

​

2. Matthew 7:7-8 points to the same stating, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
