Hi Everyone...

Let's see, there's so much to say, but I will try to sum it up as best as possible.

I was born, raised, lived and breathed the Pentecostal church lifestyle...and then something happened a few months ago that changed everything.

I had always struggled with severe depression and had a compulsion to view pornography whenever I was in my slumps. Anyway, very-long-story-short it turned out that I had a hormone imbalance (testosterone was low) which is very bad for males to have.

Five months later I'm still porn and depression free, but find myself with absolutely nothing to base my faith on anymore. So, I am a severe Skeptical Agnostic (is that redundant phrasing?) at the moment as to whether God even exists. I have always thought that a lot of stuff taught in church is ridiculous, but I do think that the altruistic lessons Jesus taught are pretty valid.

I don't know how good of a debater I am, but I do know that I can play both sides of the field right now. I know the church life inside and out, but I also know how to ask (and sometimes answer) tough questions.

I don't think so. There could be Indifferent Agnostics.
