Alhamdulillah!
I like this kind of forum!
I'm hoping that some people on here can help me, as I've wandered about from religion to religion without really getting anywhere.
First, some background: I have always believed in God, all of my life. I was raised in a vaguely Christian home, by my grandparents, but it was never really discussed and the only time I went to church was for school stuff.
Fast forward to college (that's UK college, at age 16-18) and I got involved with a Christian group and become quite fanatical about it. I even held to Creationist beliefs, something which is unusual in the UK.
Off I went to university, where I joined the Christian Union there, and again became involved in the usual campus and church activities. But in the last year, I fell away as I'd begun to doubt my faith quite badly, in particular due to doubts I had over the historicity of the Bible and also of certain Christian practices. At this time I begun to read the Qur'an and also Jewish material, and it became all quite confusing.
So this has led to me just wandering around, not really feeling attracted to any one particular set of religious beliefs or religion. There were times when I have been ready to commit to a faith and other times where I've quite strongly gone against that faith.
I really don't know what to do. Would anyone care to advise me?
