Reply #32: You know, the people I worry about are

[DemBones DemBones]

the ones who never question the faith they were raised with. Questioning can be painful but think of it as growing pains.

You can be spiritual without a church. You can learn about different types of spirituality through the internet and through books available at a public library. You don't have to have a college education to learn things. If you can read, you can learn just about anything on your own. If you want a teacher, you'll find one somehow, through a church or college, perhaps.

You may eventually find a church you like, but never expect a church to be perfect. A church is like any other group of people and you will meet mostly good people in a church, or most other groups, but there are always controversies, always some people who drive you nuts, etc.

Good luck in your searching.
