If you would really like to 'give Christ a chance', I would suggest taking an hour a day to read the Bible from front to back. Yes, this is a time consuming task. It took me some 48 or so hours to read it through. As much as some can get out of church, I wasn't getting an accurate picture of what Christ or the True Church was about by congregating in buildings to listen to another person interpret a book for me that I had not yet read in full. If you truly would like to give Faith a fair hearing, I implore of you to read the book in full before making your final decision. Contempt against the unknown is THE stumbling block.

I see what you are saying, but I just don't think I could get into the story of Jesus. For months now I have contemplated on adding a faith in Jesus Christ into my life, and what I have come to find out is that I have never really needed that sort of faith. I have always figured things out on my own. I never had to use the story of Jesus Christ or God to help me out. And I don't believe I need it now. I believe I am strong enough to handle situations on my own.
