Why I study religion: "I like that fact that religion is examined historically versus through faith. Church provides teachings through faith, but this leaves out the history of the religion. It is easier for me to understand Christianity through my knowledge of its developmental process. I feel I have grown in my faith and have found myself closer to God. The Bible no longer is frightening to read and I love discussing what I read in it."
