Hello, my name is Jeff and I'm a 21 year old radiology student. While I was born and raised a Baha'i and always took my faith seriously, it didn't actually "click" with me until I was nineteen or so. As a result, I'm a little behind a lot of my peers knowledge wise, but that doesn't really deter me from trying to learn as much as possible. My approach to life is greatly influence both by my faith and a lot of eastern philosophies and values that were instilled in me by my mentor durring my teenage years. So you'll find that those two things influence my line of thinking the most. I'm constantly learning and constantly absorbing new ideas, so hopefully you guys will help contribute possitively to my growth. =)
I came here because I love religions and I love learning about them and discussing them. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places on the internet where people approach the topics in a truly respectful manner, which is why I'm so happy to have found this place. The more I browsed your forums, the more I liked what I've read until I felt compelled to join this place. So, uh, here I am and I hope I can find some possitive way to contribute to the discussions here. =)
