BioI like music, my bikes, and interior design.
I am a Christian. This doesn't just mean that I go to church on Christmas and easter, and that my parents drag me there. It isn't for lack of a religious title. Christianity isn't my "religion"--it's my entire life.
I believe that Jesus Christ's death on the cross is the only thing that could ever free me from my own sinfulness and bridge the gap between me and God. Although this may sound crazy for you, I think Christianity makes the most sense (logical, scientific, historical, moral, and emotional) of anything in this world.
That doesn't mean I am going to go around condemning people, because I don't think that shows a proper picture of God's redeeming love, or what Christianity means. It also doesn't mean that I think I am better than you, because the truth is that NO ONE can compare to the glory of God, and because of that, I am in awe of Him. I am the first to admit that I am a royal screw up, and that fact makes God's mercy all the more amazing to me. God sought me out, and discovering what he has done for me has given me a joyful spirit.
Nothing else could have possibly changed my life the way Jesus has. I still have my doubts occasionally, but I know that I love Jesus, and I am just messed up enough to need someone like Him to fix my life--there is no way I could ever do it.
If you have any questions, or you think I'm crazy, you can talk to me, or check out The Gospel of John.
