Hello,a little about myself.
I was raised in a loosly christian home,going to church on sundays occasionaly and not paying much interest in the bible till mid teens when i became more heavily invovled,reading the bible more and through a relative joined a harsh fundamentalist church (unbeknownst to me at the time). I left after a year with my faith in christianity in deep question,and started examining the bible with a more critical eye,I started noticing inconsistencies,logical problems and things that didnt make sense,enough for me to not continue believing in it. Over the next few years i broadened my reading and study and found alot of things within buddhism that made sense to me,and i now would consider my views to be buddhist,i dont believe in accepting teachings or views without examination so anything new i examine on its own merits and i try to keep an open mind. About my nickname,I started chatting on IRC several years ago and when i had to decide on a nickname I thought this suited me at the time and ive used it ever since.I am not a monk but i have considered it before. |
